Just been watching the BBC program "Country File" in which there's five minutes on RC flight, both powered and slope soaring gliders. Evidently this program is repeated on BBC2 at 0805 next Sunday morning. :)

Don't often see much about RC flight on TV these days!

Was Gillian and Pete flying there?  She is a fab flyer!

They were at Ivinghoe Beacon for some slope soaring, then one of the presenters tried a flight on a buddy box with Andy Symonds of the BMFA at a power site. Suspect it was quite heavily edited as no mention of the BMFA and Andy never misses a chance to publicise the work of the BMFA

Saw it too. Well done to all involved!
But as usual, would have loved to see more! :)
