Congratulations to Graham Steele, the new owner of the UK Altitude Gain record of 9078 feet / 2767 meters. Graham smashed the previous record while on a 116km flight with his Mantra. It was the hottest day on record in the UK, and Graham reports that upon leaving the cloud under which he broke the record, he went for a 40km glide! Cheers from us to all of the UK pilots who have been making the most of the fantastic weather up north.
