            On Sunday, A took [L(J-V)] (an S.A.S Captain), W[R] and myself gliding.  At about 8,000 feet, twisting violently to catch lift (on no lunch, at about 5.30 pm), I felt sick, but wasn’t; it passed.  But my hands lost all blood and became numb – symptoms of oxygen starvation.  W[R] went up to about 10,000 feet, did stall turns and a loop on the way down, and complained of a sore rear from the seat!
