To Richard McLean After years of puzzling why a book for early cross-country pilots did not exist for British pilots, I wrote one.  On the basis of there being about 150 British Silver Cs a year, I printed 200 in November 2004 and sold out in four months.  I have shifted 60 of the second e

2005-04-20 Thread Robert Hart
Hi With yesterday's fatality at Gympie, there have now been three fatal glider crashes in about 12 months here in Australia. During that time there have also been a number of accidents involving serious injury. I know we all extend our sympathy to the friends and families of those involved. The

I apologise. I should have said 'REPORTING' of accidents. As I am no longer a pilot I no longer receive Soaring Australia; so the reference to the August 2004 accident reporting in Soaring Australia escaped me. Incidently the link provided would not open. Sincerely, Ron Baker. - Original Messag

Copy the link out to somewhere else like notepad & remove the end of line (CR) so that it is all on one line & then cut/paste it into the explorer address bar. Alternatively paste the first line into the address bar & then add the next line onto the end of it. These usually get mangled by the e
