Mark Cummings

Available for over a year

At the age of 14 - you can't vote, drive or ride a motorbike. But in Gloucestershire, you can become a pilot! The Bristol and Gloucestershire Gliding Club offers glider training to people as young as 14 and you can even get funding for the whole course - all it takes is willingness and dedication apparently . Reporter James Thomas has been to the Nympsfield airfield to have a go himself...then we hear from Dougie Vance and his mum Teresa about what its like to fly .. and to watch your son fly on his own.
