Title: Swarms of gliders on FR24
Post by: Angry Turnip on May 16, 2015, 02:30:51 PM

Just had a peek at FR24,and their is a huge swarm of gliders right across central and lower England-must be good weather for it.
I know sometimes there are big clumps of them showing on FR24,but today looks very busy.

Being a glider pilot myself, I can say that the weather looks fantastic for it! There's potentially a competition on, or it's potentially just the good weather. But there's some gliders there doing absolutely fantastic cross countries! Makes me want to head up!
