Hello Janet, I (Steve Walker) and am trying to get in touch with you.

My husband and our son (Ian's son and grandson) have continued the family tradition, my husband glides and is a tuggy and my son also glides, I also glide on the odd occasion having been a solo pilot many years ago. We all fly from Shipdham Airfield in Norfolk being members of the '8' Ball Soaring Group which is part of Shipdham Flying club in sunny Norfolk. Up until 1995 we still flew from just beside Swanton Morley Airfield having been made to re-locate due to the Army taking over the airfield (not a popular move!).
Anyway, if you (or indeed anyone else reading this post) have any pictures/anecdotes/stories etc etc about Ian I would very much love to hear from you.
Happy landings,
Janet Ladley
please reply if you pick this up.
