I was bought up at various airfields in the Uk and far east as my father
was a navigator in the RAF.. I had no interest in flying at the time.
Fast forward to my mid 20s. I was a rally navigator, sitting next to
nutters driving far too fast down farm tracks. One day my driver anounced
that he was giving up to join a gliding club. i went along with him to see
this wierd sport. (no engine, how can that be exciting). After a 45 min
trial flight that included soaring and simple aerobatics I was totaly
hooked and have been for the past 35 years.
I fly very little these days for financial reasons but still manage to
scrounge the occasional 2 seat flight. (4 hrs cross country in a Nimbus3dt
with a british team member. Thanks Kim)
