EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Schleicher ASW19B 712 glider stands proudly outside the award-winning clubhouse and hangar of the London Gliding Club, situated on the picturesque Dunstable Downs. The serene landscape of the British countryside serves as a breathtaking backdrop to this scene, with the Schleicher ASW19B 712 glider, in its distinctive blue and white livery, casting a long shadow on the grass. The Schleicher ASW19B 712 is a two-seat, high-performance sailplane, renowned for its agility and excellent gliding capabilities. This particular model, with its sleek design and elegant lines, is a sight to behold. Its wings are spread wide, ready for takeoff, as it waits its turn to soar amongst the clouds. In the foreground, a de Havilland Canada Chipmunk, registration G-AOTR, is parked alongside. This classic, single-engine, two-seat aircraft, with its distinctive red and white stripes, adds an interesting contrast to the modern Schleicher glider. The Chipmunk, a popular trainer for the Royal Air Force and the British Army, is a testament to the rich aviation history of the London Gliding Club. The London Gliding Club, established in 1933, is one of the oldest and most prestigious gliding clubs in the United Kingdom. Its state-of-the-art clubhouse and hangar, nestled at the foot of the chalk downs, offer shelter and facilities for its members and their aircraft. This photograph captures a moment in time, showcasing the beauty and diversity of gliding and aviation at the London Gliding Club on Dunstable Downs, circa 1982.
