Well done to 16 year-old Milo, who flew his Silver Distance flight from Lasham Gliding Society to Vale of White Horse Gliding Centre. And in some style, in a vintage Olly 2b. There was a nice reciprocal element to the flight, too, as his dad did the same trip for his Silver Distance, but a few decades ago, and the other way round. Milo timed his arrival well too, as our regular Sunday afternoon ice-cream van had just arrived.

We’re pleased to welcome visiting glider pilots and can often arrange an aero tow out again.
