As the years pass by, we are
loosing much of our soaring history.
Historical data and pictures have gradually disappeared from the clubs. Some were just
stolen. Others have been discarded as old junk. Pictures have been removed from
photo-albums to be incorporated in promotion presentations. Others have been given to
journalists asking for something to accompany their articles. For all those reasons only
the data in private hands remain.
Wives (especially widows) are the greatest enemy to personal soaring archives. They just
throw them away. So we thought of collecting our personal soaring archives in a single
CDROM. Printing a book is expensive and not justified by the number of people interested.
We collected material from the beginning of the gliding era in Greece in the '30ies, till
the mid'80ies. Later material is still in abundance.
All texts in Greek are in .jpg format, so that you can print them, without the usual
font problems, wherever you might be around the world..
