Allegros and many, many chimneys. The gliders were a Pilatus B4 one seater, and ASK-13 two seater. Have flown them in the Netherlands.

My one trip to York was in 1979, and my younger brother got lost in York Minster.

As usual, for some perspective...those prices in 'today's money'. The stay at the flying centre at £66 - £76 per week would be £336 - £387 per week. The actual flying would be equivalent to £255 - £305. That weekend stay at the Royal Station Hotel at £28 would be the equivalent to £143 today and that included the rail fare from London to York!! Jolly good value. (Bank of England inflation calculator) How wonderful to see these old programmes. Notice the lack of street furniture on the roads...no ugly signs and yellow parking lines everywhere like today. Better times..??

@A O ..yes I know but it is just intended to give some idea of the cost in present day terms.

I last went there in November 2019 and the main change is the demographics, otherwise the place itself is the same as ever. Castle Howard is still magnificent.

Those were the days , not so good anymore with the price of fuel which casts its long shadow over gliding as well.

Wait the UK wasn't 90% black back then? According to the BBC the UK land mass has been 90% black since Roman times.

You are not wrong, it's filthy, the roads and infrastructure are a disgrace and the locals have to take a back seat...student and tourist City now. Shame, I've seen it go downhill over the past 40 years. I'm thinking of getting out, can't stand going into town now, total dump.
