Many thanks for stopping by. Great to read your account- what an incredible experience. I looked at the ITV report during the writing of the article, and would also recommend it to anyone else interested in the story.

It was very courageous to get back in a glider after what happened. You looked surprisingly calm about it!

All the best,
Matt
