    How disappointing the guy who removed the camera didn't have the obvious understanding that probably everyone watching this video would like to see the whole glider at least at end of the video.

    RAF Bister air base in the early 70's, I saw one of these "basic trainers" take flight and, if I recall, one had to have 500 hours flying time in gliders before they'd let you fly it !!!! Unfortunately, I saw that flight end badly as he tried to land but misjudged the wind and ended up in some bushes, nose down! What a hoot! I was learning to fly at the time with the RAFGSA at RAF Wattisham. That's where the CFI, Eric, gave me the nickname of "Spamcan" (because I was in the USAF). Cheers !

    Great chunk of nostalgia...As a boy in Germany (My dad was with the RAF stationed at Whan, near Cologne) in the 50's and I bought and flew an SG 37. If I remember right it cost me ten pounds from a ground-crew airman due to return to the UK . Great little bird, I flew it maybe six times, then dad banned me. Saw the American U2 when it came to refuel.. nearly shot by the "security" mob long after it left...

And: I also flew the SG-38 in 1954 at Celle-Scheuen in Germany, went solo after 15 flights an the Gö-4 and after 20 hops on the SG-38 (started by winch up to 300 m) I stepped up to the "Baby II b". Flew 14 different gliders, got my "Silver C". Became a Combat Ready Pilot for the German Navy after having been trained as Jet Pilot in the USA 1966 - 1968 and was later an Instructor for "Tornado"- Crews at RAF Cottesmore/ England. (1983-1987)

Used to practice "landings" on that tall hill north of SLC#2. Would let off the accelerator in that Volvo at just the right time and then lightly tap the brakes till the stop sign.

    Only scary for the ignorant. When flying, having more vehicle wrapped around you doesn't equal more safety...just a bigger splat. What safety there is comes from learning to control your craft. Hard to imagine a better platform to learn that. :-)

    Epic! It looks as if the tug aircraft is flying slightly too fast for him but maybe it couldn't fly any slower! Reminds me of my first solo flight which was in a single seater I had never flown before. It's unofficial name was the Flying Tea Tray. Very different flying characteristics to the glider I had been taught in.
