Oh boy, I think I found my fun for this week. These posting have
drifted away from the subject again.....weren't we supposed to help a
fellow soaring pilot to locate a glider available for rent? Even though
it is a PW-5 it is still a glider and it serves its purpose.

By the way us British glider pilots are not made welcome
in France, because allegedly two of our gliders were
unfortunate enough to get in the way of a free falling
parachutist and a French two-seater that spun in a
thermal respectively. Since then they will not recognise
our UK qualifications, despite this being a principle
requirement of the EU. I don't think they have ever
forgiven us and the Yanks for liberating their country
from German occupation!

Still never mind. I fly and spend my money in all the
other EU countries who do make us welcome and accept
our qualifications.

Now Derek you started making some sense....I need to give credit when
credit is due.

- You're also known for selling your allies to, for instance Stalin,
so maybe it's healthier and smarter to stay ignorant and indifferent.

It looks like the debate is getting better...unfortunately I must
agreed with both statements. Boy....the winter is loooong indeed.
