When there is an ATC movement pending, how does this get communicated to the gliding fraternity, especially to those operating non-radio?
I ask only as I have a bit of experience with the Dunstable Downs operation and arrivals on runway 08 for Luton (08 approach is only 1nm South of the club).
Having only lived in Hampshire for a few months, my wife gleefully announced that she had seen a 4 engined holiday jet landing at Lasham last week (ZS-OZV)! If only one could actually fly on holiday in this DC-8!
Now all I ask for in 2008, is to be able to view this aircraft's departure. A cup of tea at the Club café overlooking the runway would do fine!

There is a possibility that ZS-OZV will depart Tuesday 8th January, but I expect that departure on Wednesday 9th is more likely

No doubt when my wife drives past and I am at work! How cruel can life be?
"Darling, you know that holiday jet I saw with the smoke coming out of its engines, well I saw it take off today"!

Many thanks, much appreciated, sadly I am likely to miss it this time.
Gutted (if wife sees it depart) of Alton.
