A high-flying Woodrow pilot has landed an award for making the greatest progress in his hang-gliding club.
Kevin Fisher gained the "silver C" award in only 46 hours - instead of the usual three years - at The Soaring Club in Husbands Bosworth.
The 44-year-old factory worker, who was bitten by the gliding bug 20 years ago, said the secret to passing with flying colours was to practise whenever possible.
He said: "I fly all year round, even in the winter. The frosty views can be fantastic and winter can be a really peaceful time to glide."
