Maybe we could request a higher resolution version for the cover of
Soaring - titled "Why the Sport of Soaring is Declining".

I think it was posted under "Why you should tie down your glider well".
See:

for the rest of the story.

BS - why does a glider which has been turned over by violent winds cause
a decline in gliding ?? This is a bad thing happened. But when a Tornado
rips through a line of houses then people don't stop living in houses
for that reason ??? They may think twice on putting a house at the same
place as may our gliding op/or club think on where and how to tie down
the glider ..

cheers

So I meant it as a joke not a serious reason why the sport might be
declining.

That said I did forward a copy to a friend that I am taking for a ride
on Friday. He thought it was quite funny. The composition of glider,
building, glider rides sign and closed sign couldn't have been better.
I'm sure the claims adjuster thought it was funny at the time -
especially since nobody was hurt in the 'accident'.

....and the straight-out windsock completes it!
Ouch, what a shame.

Please, somebody, publish a high-resolution version of this
