[griffio]

Good day everybody

 

i want to introduce myself . name is Marcel Griffioen and i live in Virginia South Africa . i am 59 years old and is a electrical contractor. went solo in 1968 in glider while still at school(mom didnt want me to play rugby) so it was her suggestion.

 

after school stopped flying for 30 years and took up gliding again in 1998 and enjoy it very much.2006 i bought a Pipistrel Sinus motorglider and is very happy. i hanger at Harmoy mine airfield which is 5 min drive from home.

 

regards

 

Marcel
