Just found this video....thats my glider in the field at Melton Mowbray (Libelle...from Trent Valley GC). I suspect this is at least 60 mins plus after I landed. Conditions here just died at that time. field was wet and soggy after previous rain and the retrieve turned into a bit of a nightmare, eventually getting home at 0100 hrs !!!.. Enjoyed your video apart from the bit with me in the field !!!!
the mystery is finally solved... there was a moment in the flight we were concerned it was the guy that I was crewing for.. I had a flight in the sniffer that day and we had not intended to fly the task, but just the first leg. when we got back to Bicester the going was good so we continued. Glad you got back in one piece, albeit a bit late. thanks for reaching out.
Hello Skimbo, unfortunately Work, Family and COVID mean I have not sat in a glider for months, hope you and your family are safe in these strange times.
Hi Tom, A task can consist of more than two or three turning points. these are airfields, towns, motorway junctions etc.. most tasks are between 100 and 500km long and the goal is to get back to the airfield you took of from. our tasks can be loaded into a GPS and the GPS plots if we made the turning points or not.
