Club News, First Solos, Junior Flying /

One of our junior gliding members, Marco Vourla Nunez, went solo today in one of the club’s K13 training gliders.  15-year-old Marco only joined the Vale of White Horse Gliding Centre in February of this year, but had demonstrated he was ready to make his first solo flight today.  After a well-executed ground run behind the tug plane, and an aerotow to 2000 feet, he executed some high-air manoeuvres, then a nice circuit and landing back at the airfield.

Flying Away, Junior Flying /

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,
