Journal Alioth's Journal: Scratching in the AS-W 19

I've not flown much in slippery, decent performing fibreglass gliders, but today I got to fly an AS-W 19 (the first glider I've flown with retractable undercarriage too).

Wikipedia has an article on it here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleicher_ASW_19 - the photo is of the one I actually got to fly (in a field near to where the glider club we're flying out of at the moment).

I also got a 2 hour 10 minute flight in the Puchacz this morning. The lift was very scratchy, but until the sea breeze started up you could stay up for quite a while.
