Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Gliding To 70,000ft

Thanks for posting .... interesting vid ..... good to see something where they just got on and did it then reported the results ... so many self-promoters out there with slick vids of computer simulations of what they're going to do that just fizzle out ..... might be a function of the average age of the glider crew and different outlook 🙂

Used to glide myself and even low level wave gliding is impressive ..... altitude running up like you're in a lift until it's air-brakes time before you pass the oxygen limit .... upper level wave to those heights must be something else again! .... very impressive.

Ps .... remembered I'd seen this while sorting through some old 'real pictures' the other night ... slightly different level of tech and me in 'scruffy oik' mode about to commit aviation .... Burn gliding club and more years ago than is comfortable!! 😁
