Kent Flying Evening

Thursday 5th July

Registration from 4:30pm with first flight from 5:00pm

Kent Gliding Club - Challock, Ashford TN25 4DR

http://www.kent-gliding-club.co.uk/flying_evenings.php

How do you fancy an evening of silently soaring above the garden of england in a glider?

This TLF evening flight will start with a briefing and explanation of controls over a cup of tea and then we will be taken to the launch point and we will each be flown in turn. During the flight you will have the opportunity to fly the glider if you wish.

The evening is in the form of a trial lesson so you will be entitled to 90 days memebership of the club. This means you can come back on any club flying day and fly at club rates.

For just £22.50!

Please sign up below.

The airfield will be an ideal location to get a region photo of all our cars together (so bring the Lotus)

We'll ask if we can get some aerial shots of the cars too perhaps?

[Trevsked]

Quite how near to 17st? just out of interest.

[Bibs]

You'll be fine I'm sure, they'll make sure you've got a skinny pilot.

[Trevsked]

:-) Obviously I wasn't talking a bout me but was concerned about a friend who doesn't want to be named. Think I'll join you though.

Gary, I'm in Kah Sheikhal, Somalia. I'm working for the UN for 3 months disposing of mines and ordnance. When I worked in Chattenden, Medway I was working for the Defence Explosive Munitions and Search School, mainly electrical biased, but I also taught Electrical courses at the Royal School of Military Engineering in Chatham.

Will post some pic's on FB soon.
