See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6905. The gliding strip
was
on the perimeter track and adjacent dispersal bays on the right.

Ahh yes, that's it. It was the gorse that triggered the near
instant recollection. There was always someone in amongst it,
watching the gliders. (And getting buzzed by them at least
once, I recall).

I never did do a solo there, having gained my license at 662
some 5 or 6 years previously. I was there all to infrequently
and was kind of used to the more forgiving controls on the
smaller yet heavier Sedberghs' and MkIII's that I was trained
in.

Is that the winch I see at that end? I don't recall ever taking
off or landing to the west. It was always towards the sea.


(The CFI was very unamused by this photo, which was taken from a
single-seater glider turning finals.)

lol. Did the CFI know from which glider it was taken? There
might be some suggestion that perhaps it was maybe yourself
possibly in that glider, perhaps?


The hangar that you remember was beside the trees at the far end
of the strip. It was dismantled and re-erected at Easterton, and
is the one which has now collapsed.

'tis a shame. Still, it has obviously had a long service.
