G'day Mark, I knew they are solar panels - just a weak attempt at humour! Ditto "rotten old Stemme". I generally agree on the "any publicity..." observation. It all helps, as long as it's positive. Coverage of prangs and such is detrimental to the cause for our sport as much as it may be for motor racing, skydiving, hang-gliding, paragliding and any other recreational activity that involves some risk management. I suppose it's a strong motivating force for all of us to emphasize the great aspects of gliding and to fly as safely as our skills, judgement, health, the weather and equipment will allow.
Cheers, Mitch.
