Hi, I was made a member of the GQ Gold Wings Club after having to bail out of a glider that was destroyed by lightning in 1999
. The glider flight was a 30th birthday present and was to become a day to remember! You may be interested to read my story on the attachment to this link, there is also a link to BBC and ITV TV reconstructions of that days events. see:-

I have set up a face book group for any other GQ Gold Wing or Irvin Caterpillar Club members to join if you are or know anyone who is a member of one of these exclusive clubs then please join/let them know of the group so that our stories can be shared. see :-
