A busy wednesday at Aston Down: congratulations to Christina on her first solo glider flight, and to Ava and Oliver for completing their standard aerobatics badges!

Sometimes gliders end up in fields. An elite group of members had an enjoyable Good Friday retrieving one of our pilots from a deeply rutted field in deepest Herefordshire. A great team effort.
