"All we really needed here was “Biggles” and we could have had a grand wartime airborne adventure between the red and the white. We know that Denis Arndt’s glider is being pursued by a dastardly enemy but why? Well, probably so we can watch some aero-acrobatics as both ride the thermals and are deftly photographed as they have their bullet-free dogfight. Arndt tries his hand at acting a little, but the less said about that the better - he ought to just concentrate on remembering to take of his seatbelt - and there’s a quirky twist at the end to keep it interesting if you’re interested in your sport encased in a balsa wood cockpit."
