"Scouts become High-
On a glorious March Sunday, ten scouts between 10 and 14 from 4th Rochford took to the air for their first gliding experience, courtesy of Hertfordshire Scouts Gliding team at Gransden Lodge Airfield. The day included building and flying a model glider to learn how an aircraft flies, navigation skills and airfield safety. Proud parents saw their sons and daughters strapped in before the glider was winched into the air, and flew off into the blue yonder. Each flight lasted around 20 minutes as the glider sailed in the thermals around the airfield. The weather was so good that there was time for flying more than once
Even though for some it was their first time in an aircraft, they all were able to say “I have control” to their instructor.
They all gained their Aeronautics Badge. Not bad for under £50!"
