We got called out for a rescue to attend a “plane crash” today…. I suppose unless you are European…. You don’t understand what a glider is and “landing out “… had a good chat with the pilot , a very skilled flyer. We had lots to talk about while we waited for his chase team to collect them, as I started flying these at 14.

Everything about humanity, from the very best to the very worst, I learned from the stories of my Grandfather.
