Windrushers' junior member Charlie Jessop hasn’t been seen around the airfield recently because he has snagged himself a gap-year post as ground crew at GlideOmarama – the gliding operation in New Zealand based at the site of the 1995 World Championships. His duties include getting aircraft ready for the customers and putting them away but when things are quiet he gets to fly himself. His initial “site familiarisation flight” ended up at 15,000’ over Mount Cook (New Zealand’s highest peak) and since then he has been flying the Astir and the (numerous) Duo Discuses with GlideOmarama’s pundits. He is pictured here with Mike Till (who spends our summers at Dunstable) at 21,000’ somewhere near Omarama.Charles is the one in the front seat...
More news from Charles as we get it over the electric telegraph.
