Default Glider destroyed by lightning

Hi my name is Graeme Cooper, 10 years ago I was in the front seat of
the ASK21 glider that was destroyed by lightning in 1999, the flight
was a birthday present to celebrate my 30th.

Please visit my justgiving webpage to read my story and see what I am
planning now for my 40th

Please help me to raise awareness and funds for the Parkinson's
Disease
Society by sending the above address to anyone who you think may be
interested to see it.

If you would like to make a donation that would be great too!, please
include your interest in flying i.e. BA Passenger plane pilot, Royal
Navy helicopter pilot, Heron gliding club member etc next to your name
so that I and others can see it. It would be good to see support from
abroad!!. I am contacting all the British gliding clubs for support.

Every penny counts.
Many thanks

P.s. I have included a link to my scrapbook below of the days events
of 1999 that you may find interesting:-
