Early Thermal Soaring Days

Created by b_austin 11 years ago
Thetford soaring comp in late 70,s, Jon arrives late rushes round with Sandra to get his model assembled, then announces that he has not had his insulin injection for the day. Rush round to find a doctor to administer it, not easy on a Sunday in the 70s. Losing his car keys at another event plus his uncanny ability to read when in lift on the town line, oh yes Sandra was the first girl I ever see towing a glider up with Jons insistance. Great memories that I can retain although our contact has been minimal since those days. RIP
