Freda, great photo of the Lasham K13 glider heading for the moon! and thanks
to planesandthings for going into more detail about opportunities for young people to fly at civilian gliding clubs...at Shenington Gliding Club we also have youngsters making rapid progress in flying. A very good thing in my opinion (as a retired instructor but still flying) that the new rules permit solo flying at the age of 14, certainly the kids who have made the grade are responsible and helpful on the airfield. Possibly because there are not too many of them, and so are participating as individuals, rather than regimented....
