Last Saturday was another crisp, clear flying day at the Vale of White Horse Gliding Centre, and we were very happy that Nicki was able to fly with us, especially given she and her husband had to make a long drive from the South Coast to get to the airfield. Nicki has a chequered history when it comes to flying experiences, with some failed attempts over the years to go up in a hot air balloon.

But all went well on Saturday, and she enjoyed some spectacular frosty views across the Wiltshire and Oxfordshire countryside flying with one of our instructors, Stuart, in our Twin Astir training glider.
