Your National Ladder Steward
My name is John
Bridge, I am older than you think and have been gliding since 1979. So far I have collected
over 5800 gliding hours, mainly
in the UK but including many hours in the French
Alps - please visit our Sisteron
Diaries site for a flavour of the mountains. I am not a competition pilot but I do enjoy flying
long distance cross-countries in my LS6c (245), usually in 17.5m mode, from the Cambridge
Gliding Centre. I have 3 Diamonds and a UK 750km Diploma.
I am married to Ariane
Decloux, another experienced 3-Diamond LS6c (122)
pilot
who lets me go gliding provided I get back in time to go on her retrieve.
