Two first solos within days
The club had two first solos in two days in April ’17: The first, on 16th, was by Alistair Aegerter, formerly of the Bristol University Gliding Club, and the next day Abbie Ring, 14, the BGGCs youngest girl cadet, had her first. Referring to the photo of Abbie in the string above, CFI Greg O’Hagan said: “I think she was quite pleased” and added: “Well done to both.”
