On Friday 19th August 3pm BST I soared up inside a cloud over Overton, Hampshire, UK from base 3600ft QNH to just over 4600ft QNH in a sailplane glider. Once I emerged I had some fun spiralling down around a lovely cumulus before speeding up (hence the extra wind noise) to dive under another cloud to my East as I started heading back to Lasham Airfield where I launched from. The background tone is the vario. The lower the pitch the faster I am sinking. It was pretty bumpy up there hence the camera shake which was handheld on an extended arm.

  • Yep all legal in the UK. (I was IMC inside the cloud of course. Cloud flying is permitted in class G airspace.)
