EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the sleek and powerful Schleicher K-6E CCU glider, soaring through the skies above RAF Greenham Common during an Inter-Services Regional gliding competition in the 1980s. The vibrant colors of the glider stand out against the clear blue sky, showcasing its aeronautical beauty and grace.
What makes this photo even more special is the personal connection of the photographer - their ex-wife had a share in this very glider, giving them unlimited access to fly it whenever they pleased. The sense of freedom and exhilaration that comes with piloting such a magnificent aircraft is truly unparalleled.
As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel the wind rushing past us as we glide effortlessly through the air. The nostalgia of days spent flying high above the clouds brings back memories of adventure and excitement.
The Schleicher K-6E CCU represents not just a mode of transportation, but a symbol of passion for aviation and love for flight. It serves as a reminder that sometimes, all it takes is one breathtaking moment in the sky to make us feel truly alive.
