Gliding 500k from Sutton Bank

[@josephinebennington7247]

In many ways showing the task and the detail made this vid rather more interesting than any of the cloud, ridge or aerobatic vids. I got quite a lift out of that 18 mins. 👍

Thankyou for your comments and thankyou for watching.

Great to see you still flying Derek. You may recall me from many years ago at Sutton Bank. All the best.

[@derektaylor3291]

Great to hear from you Geoff. How long is it since you left Sutton Bank and are you still flying.

@@derektaylor3291 I left Sutton Bank in March 1987. Can’t believe it’s been so long ago. I now live in Durango, Colorado, 40 acres up in the mountains. I’ve been an airline captain for 22years, based in Denver. I haven’t flown a glider for quite a few years however. I married Sarah Mc Naughton about five years ago. If you recall, she used to hang around the gliding club back in the day. I often think about my time at Sutton Bank. Probably the best time of my life. I still have some pics of everyone at the bar. Maybe I’ll see if I can send some to you. Hope alls we’ll with you Derek. I’ll try to keep in touch. Cheers Geoff

Wow how time passes. I left Mclean Aviation in 1992 and set up North Yorkshire Sailplanes which will be 30 years old in August. Contact me on e mail at [e-mail] and I will fill in the gaps. rgds Derek
