DSGC had been selected by the BGA to host selected Instructors from 624 Volunteer Gliding Squadron (VGS) Chivenor and 626 VGS Predannick for some gliding continuation training, as part of a nationwide grant scheme provided by RAFA.
VGS Instructors Training Day (Jill) |
With clear blue skies and light easterly winds, the weather was perfect for the planned sorties.
Six Instructors enjoyed four aerotows each, with training in spinning and aerobatics, even the formation flying of aerotowing was a new experience for most of them.
