British Gliding Documentary (1990's ?)
Does anybody have a copy of/remember the title of the UK Gliding Competition Documentary shown on UK TV in the (1990's ?? )
ISTR that Andy Davis and Tony Cox were among those glider pilots seen chatting/interviewed on screen.
I have some of the TV docu's shown around that time but the gliding prog seems to have 'got away'/escaped

Thanks Treadi - I have not seen all of them myself yet,but I have had a piece of paper with all the titles on the PC Desk since Christmas - I just kept forgetting to actually post them up.
No younger brother LOL

In maybe the early 1970s I recall seeing The Sunship Game, which might have been shot at Marfa at a US Gliding Championships. YouTube comes up with something quite different. Anyone else remember that one, or have a link?

We will watch it later,my Mrs is now gliding - about 70 lchs in and looking like she will be a very good pilot,I have recently re soloed after a 20+ year layoff and have had a giggle with my instructor when he delights in telling me that ''that landing was almost as good as yer mrs''
