I used to share a lift to Portmoak every week with a pilot who got his
gliding licence in Zambia, where he was an inspector of school and,
effectively, Chief Flying Instructor (power) for the whole country. He
learned in a Doppelraab ... I wonder if it's still around?

Another video from the IGC's membership promotion committee.

Called "Black Sands - White Wings", it has taken two years to produce. Three
sailplanes set out on an adventure to see how far they can fly using New
Zealand's westerly winds and the very low sand dunes of the west coast of
New Zealand's North Island. They exceed 250kms with 90% of time at heights
of around 500ft. Crossing river mouths and harbours entrances, it is nail
biting stuff!
