But did you get your feet off the ground?

For some time when I put Air Cadet gliding behind me I was like you, peering over the fence at various gliding sites and thinking about those halcyon days of MkIIIs and Sedburghs!

Then last year I did something positive and joined the Southdown Gliding Club at Parham (sister club to Ringmer). Now I do it and don't dream about it any more

Come along and have a flight along the beautiful South Downs sometime. You will be made most welcome.

Like other forumites I get very angry that this fabulous sport has been denied to hundreds of willing Air Cadets, volunteer officers and civilian instructors since this debacle started - and continues........
