Gliding in the Chilterns
Admiring the Chiltern Hills and villages from a glider ; practising a few turns along with a few local buzzards and red kites (helpful chaps for showing us around the thermals). Thanks to Jim and the guys at Booker Gliding Club for a great afternoon getting a new perspective on the landscape – as my instructor said …”now for some civilised flying” !

Soaring over Turville and Ibstone

Looking out to Henley on Thames

Faithful tugs to get the gliders in the air

Preparing to fly at Booker

Just one letter away from Christopher Reeve. A rather good pilot who also flew from our Club on occasion. RIP…
