The club in Derbyshire is still going strong, I also
saw the gliders flying over the club all those years
ago and became hooked - I am now the Chairman of the
club and it is still fascinating.

As a ten-year old, I witnessed gliders from the 1954
World's flying
over my nearby home in Derbyshire and this piqued my
interest in
soaring. It's a real eye-opener to read the first-hand
accounts.

Also interesting to read the accounts of team flying,
I wonder how long
ago the USA stopped doing this and I wonder if we lost
something as a
result?
