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

My father and a bunch of mates( a fellow ex-RAF chap, the professor of engineering in UCD, An insurance manager, Ralf Slazenger-Who had the money - and an ex Lufwaffe Pilot who had crashed in the south of Ireland and never went home) formed the Dublin Gliding club just after the second world war so I grew up messing around gliders. The wave over the Dublin Mountains saw flights up to almost 12,000ft where we really should have had oxygen, but H&S was alittle more lax then. I loved gliding, but when Family came along money was too tight so have only sporadic scirmishes with the thermals since. Flights to 70.000ft must be fantastic --many thanks for the post
Cheers!
