Hi Justin,

I can recommend the gliding school of Baden-Wuerttemberg gliding association
(BWLV) in Southern Germany near Schwaebisch Gmuend (airport named
Hornberg). Very nice folks up there and great soaring over the Alb.

As to gliders: They have a brand new ASK-21Mi and a DuoDiscus as well as
several single seaters. You can be launched by winch, aerotow and by the
21's Wankel engine.

Have a nice vacation,
Erik.

Hi all,

I'm going to be on a road tour of Europe in August (South of France,
Switzerland, Germany etc) and was thinking of stopping somewhere for a
week to do a gliding course.

My first question would be whether or not any training I do in Europe will
be valid back in the UK? The second would be if anyone can recommend
gliding schools in Europe as Google doesnt' return too many results.

Many Thanks,

Justin.
