1 of 3. On a weak blue thermal day in mid October 2011, Bill Bullimore from Lasham UK, flies the 25.5 metre span (84 ft) awesome Nimbus 3 glider, trying to stay aloft. Now trying an improved camera mount, this gives an in-cockpit viewpoint of a glider pilot's day. This video shows the launch point procedure, the aerotow tug connecting, the takeoff and eventual release.
