I first flew solo at the age of 16 in April 1965. That was in an Air Cadets T31 glider at Spitalgate, England. I now have almost 1200 hours of power flying experience, much of it in aerobatic Pitts Specials.
I began gliding again in November 2012 and achieved a Silver C rating in April 2013. I was awarded a Gold Badge and a Diamond Goal for a 311-kilometre flight in January 2014.
