3rd Spanish Vintage Glider rally at Santo Tome del Puerto
13th July 2009 to 19th July 2009

Instead of the usual long weekend this years event lasted a whole week and we welcomed a squad of Dutch visitors with 4 gliders from Amsterdam. The weather was good with soaring every day and in addition the the vintage gliders there were vintage aircraft and vehicles present. A morning visit was made to the old airfield at Somosierra which was closed back in the 1980s.

On the 11th April it was difficult to imagine that this would soon be the camp site for the rally.
