Yup.... quite a lot of fields and places to land if needed in the local area... Just a big pain in having to disassemble the Glider and transport it home. We have had two civilian gliders land at Syerston a few months back, they were both taking part in a competition in the area and wandered a bit too far and couldn't make it back. Luckily one of them called out a Tow aircraft (G-TUGY Roll Eyes

to be precise) to come and give him a lift home, but the other had to disassemble and get a trailer to come and pick him up! Roll Eyes

...and about 18 from Melton Mowbray.

Takes me about 35 minutes from Leicester, just straight down the A46... roughly a 60 mile round trip every weekend... at least im not paying the fuel bill, yet... Roll Eyes

The winching part looks rather intense... a bit like James May statement when climbing with the Eurofighter... We're at 5.000 ft and my stomach is still on the runway... Grin

On a typical winch launch it is the same acceleration as a Tornado F3... but rather than accelerating through 150kts we tend to round off at 60.... Roll Eyes
