By 1976 he held an Instructor&#8217;s Rating. The following year he joined the instructing staff at Lasham Gliding Centre, reputedly the largest gliding centre in the world. What began as seasonal employment soon became full-time, resulting in his holding the position of Deputy Chief Flying Instructor and for one year, Acting Chief Flying Instructor, while his colleague Derek Piggott took a sabbatical in the USA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-right: 10px;margin-bottom: 25px;padding: 0px;border: 0px;font-size: 15px;line-height: inherit;font-family: UniversNW01-420CdRegula, Arial, sans-serif\">In 1982 he became National Coach for the British Gliding Association and as such was involved in, among other aspects of the sport, the training of instructors, cross-country and competition training. In this role he flew at the majority of the gliding clubs in Britain. A keen soaring pilot, he is holder of the FAI Diamond Badge and has flown in many competitions and National Championships.<\/p>\n<p><ul class=\"linklist\" style=\"margin-right: 0px;margin-bottom: 20px;margin-left: 0px;padding: 0px;border: 0px;font-size: 15px;line-height: inherit;font-family: UniversNW01-420CdRegula, Arial, sans-serif\"><\/ul>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 10px 25px 0px;padding: 0px;border: 0px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;font-size: 15px;line-height: inherit;font-family: UniversNW01-420CdRegula, Arial, sans-serif;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: start;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none\">With 27 years of instructing on both gliders and motor gliders behind him,experience of over 100 different types of glider and considerable tow-plane flying experience, he is an ideal person to produce a manual on gliding.
