Thank you, Ian! Excellent! Learning the game again after a thirty-year hiatus. Then, it was a nice (but not pro) Abercrombie & Fitch set that allowed my college friends and me many intense, enjoyable, vicious, thrilling afternoons on the lawn. I look forward to enjoying your other videos! Thank you for sharing.
@@ianharrison4792 Excellent tribute videos for Winkle, Ian. He was certainly a national treasure! I had read about him but your videos added valuable context to the man. The glider in the avatar is a British ASK-13. A lovely, lovely glider. It is from the early 1960s, an excellent trainer, and a delight to fly. I learned to fly gliders from a Brit, Derek Johnson, who had moved here to the states with his wife Elsie. That was in 1983. I teach at a university and hope to come to the UK for a visit-would love to do a visiting professorship one year-and would appreciate a visit to your croquet club! The nearest club to me is 88 miles away, which leaves me eyeing my (small) backyard and considering the amount of lawn work that would be required. But I love the game. Thank you again for your excellent videos. I am making my way through them and enjoying every minute of your and George’s contentious rivalry on the court!

Thank you. As fliers you may be interested to see my videos about Capt Eric "Winkle" Brown which are on the Edinburgh University Air Squadron website.
