Gliding above town

ECHO REPORTER John Rippin took to the skies above Loughborough and was “thrilled” as he hit hot spots in his first gliding experience, courtesy of the chairman of the Leicestershire Gliding Club.

John was given his first taste of gliding in a T49 Slingsby Capstan glider as it was an up-and-coming popular sport amongst locals. Were you ever part of the gliding club? Maybe it was a hobby of your own, and have some old photos taken of above Loughborough?
