Finally a day with a good southerly wind and a dry airmass instead of the usual grot associated with this wind direction. 5 DSGC gliders braved the rough aero-tows down to the Sidmouth cliffs, where fun was had on an epic scale. The walkers on the cliff tops seemed to enjoy the show and hopefully a few might risk a trip to our club to try gliding themselves.
There was even wave off the cliffs which allowed all of us to climb high enough to easily glide back home. A fantastic days flying!

May you rest in peace Matt. You have left us with some wonderful memories and no doubt have inspired many to take to the skies, where you are flying now wtih no more earthly concerns. Thank you for your spirit and beautiful contributions. With love and sadness - Dave

Years ago, at Sutton Bank, Yorkshire, it was possible to ridge soar for miles along the Hambleton hills. And in the T21, with the open cockpit and high wing just a few feet from the clifftop path, it was delightful with the scent of wildflowers and eavesdropping on the chatter of the walkers who seemed to enjoy a cheery wave. It was the only way to fly very low legally. I hope it still is and the powers that be never change it.

Stunning - mesmerising and simply beautiful. I don't think I've every been so captivated. Thank you very much for this wonderful footage. My few experiences in gliders have all been thermal but now I will dream of ridges and coastlines - we are well served in that regard here in Australia too! Perhaps instead of renewing my powered licence, I may have to consider soaring on what I've just experienced thanks to you! Many regards from Australia - David

Wow, just watched this and was fascinated the whole way through. We often go on holiday to Beer and Sidmouth so know that area really well, though I've never seen it from quite that angle before :) I last flew a glider about 10 years ago jus,t after going solo, when my first child and a new house took most of my spare money. I really would like to get back into it, but I'll probably stick to thermal gliding for now. That really did look quite close in places ;). Thanks for the Vdeo, Epic :)

@gregoryesman9442 11 жыл бұрын

Hiya Halfloaf! The rod helps transmit information to the cockpit. It's called a pitot tube. The changing tone in the cockpit is actually a really handy instrument. When the tone goes high, the glider is receiving vertical lift (Either it be hot air, wind rushing up mounting or cliffs etc). The lower of a tone it gets the less vertical lift it gets. All gliders have a instrument called a Vertical Speed Indicator which shows how fast upwards your glider is going. The sound lets pilot - eyes on sky

A good rule of thumb is airspeed in knots divided by five, squared, gives the height gain in feet. e.g. 120 knots => 576 ft. Less the 100 ft to still have 50 knots flying speed equals 476 ft. (high school physics 0.5*mv^2 = mgh says multiply by 0.2106, so 0.2 allows for some drag loses)

The official investigation takes time - the results will be published when they are ready. Public speculation based on gossip and other unreliable 'testimonies' would probably lead to wrong guestimates about the cause - that could actually prove harmful if someone takes them seriously. I guess that we just have to wait ...
