Gliding — Soaring with the Eagles

Lloyd in a Hornet at Benella, Victoria (July 1982).

For an all too brief period from February 1980 until late 1988, my passion in life away from work was gliding. It's a magnificent sport!

• Learning to Soar — Waikerie February 1980.
• Soaring highlights — Interesting gliding adventures.
• Gold distance and Diamond goal — Success first time!
• Plane Sailing — Article on gliding by Lloyd.
• Waikerie Gliding Club — My special gliding home.

Sadly, I haven't been gliding regularly since 1988. Putting down roots and getting in to a mortgage type situation, made the funds required hard to come by.
