I had my first flight in a glider at the age of 8, and the memory of that flight has never faded. So, when I retired at the age of 65, I looked around for gliding clubs and found 'Essex Gliding Club' were giving a 'Fixed Price to Solo' offer, so I paid the money, and bought my glider even before I had actually 'gone solo'. My two-seater 'Marianne' (Centrair C201A) is now well used by Essex Gliding Club for cross-country training, and gives me a lot of enjoyment. I have been using my 40+ years of electronics, programming and engineering experience to help the club with many projects - the simulator being just one. Happy to help anyone else, so you can learn from my mistakes!
