My father, a lawyer, was made an honorary member of the D&LGC back in about ‘62. He had (unsuccessfully, I’m afraid) appealed against a planning decision that refused permission for them to use tug planes to complement the winch they normally used. He used to joke that I should have been the one honoured, as I spent a couple of weeks out of my school holidays driving around the district, canvassing the opinions of the locals. My reward came one weekend when, as guests of the club, we got taken up for a joyride. The glider was an earlier Slingsby design with an open, side by side cockpit. Had I not already been a keen, competitive, dinghy sailor, I think I would have taken up gliding. Just had a look on Google maps and there appears to be a power plane amongst the gliders. Hope they eventually got permission for tug tows.

In fact ,you can get a strip of wood or tarmac going downhill, and just give the plane a little push... Let it catch speed and pull up... airborne!

I think you could have pushed the glider off that hill with the same power as the bungee.

Agree about the pointlessness of the music and it distracting from an otherwise thoroughly enjoyable vid. Edit it out and reupload.

Amazing video. Next time leave out the childish music. I couldn't hear what the people said. I've never seen a glider launched like that. Fantastic visuals!

Vintage. Someone else has already provided the link to the type. The good thing about these vintage gliders is that they will float on a fart. The bad things plural are that they come down just as fast when there's no lift, and because of that aerofoil and a light wing loading (about half that of any contemporary sailplane i.e. S-H Ventus), they bounce around like crazy in any thermal or hill soaring lift natural turbulence for an uncomfortable ride.

Why would you push the plane up the hill afterwards? This glider (probably) landed in the field seen in the video at about 4:00 - to the right of the parked planes - that is uphill to the starting point.

Hi, can you tell me was the Capstan owned by the Lakes Gliding club? If so I had many a happy hour in it. Until someone put me in a T53. If you do a bungi again can you let me know as you look localish. Kind regards Duncan (York)
