BTEC cadet Lauren Arnold has successfully gained her silver gliding wings, following a recent solo flight aboard the Grob Viking glider at the Volunteer Gliding Squadron, Essex.

Weather conditions were good during training, but with wind picking up towards the end of the week it was possible that solo flights would not be taking place. Lauren said, “When my slot on Friday was cancelled due to cross winds. I joked that it wasn’t a problem and I would land at Stansted instead!” Fortunately, after early showers on Saturday, conditions improved and Lauren was able to make the flight.

Of the ten students on the course, seven were successful in gaining their solo wings.
