John Williamson was an adventurer. If the day was flyable then the opportunity had to be taken even if this meant putting the T21 on a trailer, hooking a winch to a tractor and de-rigging various other gliders, so be it, then off we went.
I remember one weekend when we were flying off the top of a ridge some miles from Upavon. A key piece of advice we were given was "don't land at the bottom as the farmer does not like gliders and has a shot gun". Who can tell me where that was!!!
As the wind was a bit variable this meant just staying airborne until a landing at the top was possible. Given the curl over behind the ridge this was not the simplest site to fly at. Great experience though and we were all given a check flight in the T21 before being set loose in the Oly2
I'll tell you where this was next time.
Good Flying.
