Photos of Gavin Stephens and his DG600M participating in a Glider Mail Flight and landing and delivering postage stamps at Progress Airfield, Eastern Cape, on 13 October 2012.
Gavin took delivery of the 200 stamps at the Uitenhage Airfield (home to EPGC) and then self-launched his DG600M flying to the Progress Airfield located 16km south of Uitenhage and underneath the Port Elizabeth TMA.
When he was within gliding range of Progress he turned off the engine and landed. The stamps were then handed over to Dave Brown and then Gavin self-launched and headed back to Uitenhage.
