Wrong Glider

[bikerflier]

Had a good laugh today. 2 Guys flying gliders, sat in deck chairs for 20 minutes or so, then CRASH!!!, loud crunching noise.
Is that your glider just crashed?
No there's mine up there.
No that's mine, twiddle of sticks and Oh Sod, it is yours, mines just crashed.
The guy had been following the wrong glider for 10 minutes until his finally ended in the trees 600 yards away.
Shame none of us noticed, would have been more of a laugh seeing it wondering the skies aimlessly.
Carried on enjoying my MCPX while they visited the trees with a long carbon pole and a couple of Sainsbury's bags.

Yeah, can imagine the banter.
We were on at the guy all afternoon, poor sod, even got his hat mixed up with the same guy as he got so confused and frustrated in the end.
Every seagull, buzzard or large bird and the calls went out to check which was his.
Great afternoon.
