EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1963, where a group of young Air Scouts in Britain are eagerly learning the art of gliding. The image captures two Scouts seated inside a Slingsby T. 21 glider, while another Scout diligently connects it to a cable prior to launch at the first Air Scout Gliding Course held at Lasham. As our eyes wander towards the background, an Avro York G-ANTK aircraft stands tall, adding an extra touch of aviation charm to the scene. This photograph beautifully showcases the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that is synonymous with scouting. These teenage boys from all corners of England have come together in this quaint village in Hampshire to experience firsthand what it feels like to fly through the skies. With their determined faces and connected cables visible from outside the cockpit, they demonstrate their eagerness to learn and train as future pilots. The joyous expressions on their faces tell us that this is not just about acquiring technical skills; it's about having fun and embracing new experiences. Underneath those helmets lie dreams taking flight as these young scouts absorb every moment spent soaring above ground level. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we witness how scouting nurtures curiosity and instills confidence within children who aspire for more than ordinary adventures. This remarkable image serves as a testament to both individual growth and collective achievement within The Scout Association – an organization dedicated to shaping young minds by providing them with opportunities that extend
