EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of a take-off during a regional gliding competition in the 1980s. The Slingsby T.59D Kestrel 19 CFU, registration number BGA 1515, with manufacturing serial number 1762, sits poised and ready for flight at the edge of the runway. The Slingsby Kestrel is a classic British two-seat, single-engine, high-performance glider, renowned for its agility and aerobatic capabilities. The T.59D variant, produced between 1974 and 1983, was an advanced design for its time, featuring a carbon fiber wing and a redesigned fuselage. The glider pilot, focused intently on the runway ahead, prepares for liftoff as the assistant holds onto the wing strut for balance. The crew members on the ground provide final checks and adjustments, ensuring that all systems are go. The sun casts a golden glow over the scene, highlighting the sleek lines of the Kestrel and the vibrant colors of the competition banners in the background. The 1980s was a golden era for gliding, with competitions drawing large crowds and showcasing the latest advancements in glider technology. The Slingsby Kestrel was a popular choice among pilots, offering a thrilling and immersive flying experience. As the pilot applies power to the engine and the glider begins to roll down the runway, the ground crew waves goodbye, and the Kestrel soars into the sky, leaving a trail of dust behind. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of flight and the spirit of competition in the world of aviation.
