Memories of the original L13 Blanik at Nympsfield UK 1968 to 1977. Still flying and gliding 57 years on from 1st flight in 1967. Happy days! John. FAI/BGA 51417 (old timer).
Happy memories of my old Bkanik and youthful energy, the joy of thermalling and demonstrating a loop to a friend. My heroes now are the staff of the rheumatology department at the local hospital and their medicines, which keep me reasonably mobile and reasonably pain-free. Enjoy it while you can, my friend, and all best wishes to you.
Good job in the pattern, showing good speed control. Well done. I used to fly and instruct in this glider when it was owned by the Greater Boston Soaring Club. Probably did 60+ winch launches in it.
