A smooth winch launch and a beautiful flight over green hills and clear skies. The Pegase glider looks stunning in action. Nicely captured by @m_rc74, showing how graceful a launch can look from this view. #glider #soaring #sailplane #aviationlovers | Glider Airstrip

Final glide with the best wingman. Smooth coordination, great energy, and an unforgettable view by @gliding.content. Gliding moments like this remind why we love the sky. #gliding, #sailplane, #soaring, #gliderpilot, #aviationlovers | Glider Airstrip

D-DAY 81 • GLIDER PILOT REGIMENT SOCIETY The glider pilots played a fundamental role in the Normandy campaign, transporting troops and equipment. Being towed in a mostly wooden glider was not without risk. The Glider Pilot Regiment Society was established to remember the glider pilots, bring veterans and descendants together, and to pass on the history of the Glider Pilots. In 2022 they unveiled a memorial in Ranville, and today I supported their ceremony, along with the members of Massed Bands
