Carrying Passengers in a T21.
On 4 August 1963 John Williamson signed me off as fit to carry passenger in the T21. As this meant sitting in the left hand seat, it meant using the left hand for the stick and right hand for the spoilers. As in all other gliders it was the opposite hand, it took some getting used too. I was helped a lot as at the time I was in the process of getting my PPL flying Austers at Wolverhampton, and in the Auster it was Left hand seat flying so I had got used to it.
Later that day I took my first passenger, a Mr Hicks, the second was a Mrs White so indicates my log book, both 4 minute circuits.
The next day (Sunday 5th August) another 16 passenger flights, all short with one exception of 17 mins thanks to the cook house thermal..
A fun day.
