A level student joins the British Gliding Team!
Oliver, a student who has just completed his A level exams, has just spent two weeks in Poland at the Junior World Championships representing the UK in the British Gliding Team. Oliver was flying an LS8 sailplane in the Standard Class in support of his more experienced team mate who was also flying an LS8, who achieved a very creditable 6th place flying against the worlds best young glider pilots.
The ‘Junior’ championships is open to pilots who have achieved a high stamndard in national gliding competitions and has a maximum age of 25. Having learnt to fly and flown solo at age 14, gone on to develop cross country soaring skills and competition experience, and with several years of Junior competitions ahead of him, we’re confident that Oliver will be flying high internationally for some time to come!
