Trial of my fibreglass go-pro mount for the wing of M3 12th June 2022
The trial went well and I have some nice videos. I was unable to upload a video clip due to it being too large a file. I followed all the advice from the BGA with respect to mount cameras to gliders and constructed a bespoke fibreglass mount that fixes securely to the wing and has […]

Portmoak Expedition Thursday 19th May 19th May 2022
A day with strong thermals to about 6000ft, but badly broken by the wave. The easy option therefore was a float around the Highlands in nice smooth air. M3 got to around 13,000ft, but I’ve not spoken to everyone yet. The image above is Loch Tummel from about 8,000ft. Alastair
