    Gareth gets high
    Gareth Lloyd takes to the air.
    The sky's the limit for Gareth Lloyd and his instructor

    Since he was a young boy, Gareth Lloyd has seen gliders flying over his home in south Bedfordshire.

    The 21-year-old gets the chance to fulfil a life-time dream - and take to the skies in in the engineless aircraft.

    ESSENTIAL INFO

    Video Nation began in 1993 as an experimental TV and archive project for BBC2, inspired by the success of Video Diaries and by the Mass Observation project of the 1930s.

    Each year 50 contributors were given equipment and training to film their everyday lives.

    Over 1,200 Shorts made from the recordings have since appeared on TV, as well as many other full-length programmes.
