        No I don't! Even a hardened patriot like you has got to admit that the French knew what they were doing, inventing bubbly :biggrin: Visited the Taittinger caves about 35 years ago.....the tasting was very mingy compared to Moet et Chandon's :catapult: It does say a lot about climate change, though, that they're moving north. I wonder what they'll call the result?:biggrin:
        Anyway, back to your baptême de l'air......go on, admit it, you must be just the teensiest bit excited?:hapydancsmil: Just so long as the co-pilot doesn't look like Ted Striker ...

            @pete Good Grief. Isnt going in a plane with no engine as barmy as jumping out of a perfectly functioning airborne one with a piece of material on you back .....
            Seriously though I bet you'll love it when you get there. Gliders 'fly' from quite near me at Ringmer. I hope you have a fabulous time.

              I'm pretending to know who Ted Striker is :scratch:
              I thought he was a comic strip footballer.:biggrin:

              I do know who the Red Baron was, something to do with Snoopy I think.

              Thanks, I'm sure it will be alright.
              I went in a single engined light plane from Headcorn a couple of times, the pilot looked over to a twin engined job starting up and remarked how dodgy the twin engined ones are, being that compared to the one I was in it had twice the chance of engine failure.:biggrin:

              Bearing that in mind, a glider must be even safer as it has no chance of engine failure.;)

              Just watching the two seat spitfire going over,..... one day maybe.:smile:

                          In 1940 you could have had a couple of hours and they would have paid you.
