Man has always wanted to fly like a bird, and many have died in strange attempts to copy the birds that glide through our skies.

Perhaps the closest sensation man has achieved in his vain attempts to fly is in the sport of gliding, whereby a silent plane, launched into the skies by being pulled by a conventional aircraft, glides on the thermals much as birds of prey or migratory storks, the former seeking prey, the latter their nesting sites in summer, their feeding grounds in winter.

As a sport it began in the 1920, and developed as we gained a better understanding of weather.

Although it is hard to believe, it is a fact that distances of over 1000 kilometres have been achieved by a glider.

Before the Second World War, at the Berlin Olympics of 1936, gliding was a demonstration sport but it did not return when the Olympics resumed in 1948 in London, and has rarely had a mention since. There are however World Gliding Championships, with Germany being the predominant nation both for glider manufacturing and sporting success. Men and women, in fly London shoes and fly shoes, can learn the sport at a variety of local aerodromes.

There is competition for air space these days. While gliding is not an exclusively elite sport, it is certainly a minority one.

Many pilots of conventional aircraft find the activity most relaxing as opposed to the pressure of their every day work. Relaxation is important for people in pressure environments. What better than to arrive at the local aerodrome on a sunny morning, casual jeans, polo shirt, fly London shoes or fly shoes and no uniform to spend a couple of peaceful hours in the skies?

The secret of gliding success is the use of thermals whereby the warm air is rising quicker than the glider can descend. It is a principle that the white stork uses to return to Europe from feeding grounds in Africa.

Thermals are formed by rising air as the sun heats the land. As a result, thermals do not exist over the Mediterranean Sea so the storks use a route up the Nile and through Israel, Lebanon and Syria before turning to fly the length of Turkey in search of their nesting sites from the previous years.

These storks live to be up to seventy years old so perhaps it is they who are more remarkable than the gliders doing 1000 kilometres, because they undertake this journey twice a year for every year of their lives.

It all comes so naturally to the stork, a few practice flights weeks after birth and then that first marathon trip when less than three months old. The skill of the glider pilot is the identification of thermals and the ability to use them to rise until a higher thermal is found.
