Gliding Scholarship

An 18-year-old Nayland College student, Graeme Wood, won the Jones Real Estate Gliding Scholarship after instructors of the Nelson Gliding Club had flown with 78 scholarship entrants last month. The scholarship entitles Graeme to free flying training to the solo stage and free club membership. That's Graeme (Below) receiving pre-flight instructions from John Fry (right) as Malcolm Pearcy straps him in the cockpit.
