EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1960s, a Senior Scout proudly takes control of the winch at Lasham Gliding Centre in Hampshire, England. Dressed in his scouting uniform, the young teenage boy exudes a sense of determination and excitement as he prepares to launch a glider. The gliding centre, a popular destination for scouts across Britain and the United Kingdom, provided an unforgettable experience for young people looking to learn the thrills of aviation. The winch, a vital piece of machinery used to launch gliders, is a testament to the hands-on, practical learning that scouting offered during this era. The boy's deft handling of the controls, guided by experienced scout leaders, marked the beginning of an unforgettable journey into the world of gliding. The scene transports us back to an era of fun and adventure, where boys and men from all walks of life came together to learn, train, and fly. The open skies of Lasham Gliding Centre offered a unique and exhilarating experience, as the young scouts took to the air, soaring above the picturesque English countryside. This photograph, taken in the 1960s, encapsulates the spirit of scouting during this time – a time of learning, growth, and camaraderie. The boy's focused expression and the anticipation in the air around him serve as a reminder of the countless memories and experiences that were created at the Lasham Gliding Centre and other similar institutions across the kingdom. As we look at this photograph, we can't help but be inspired by the boy's sense of adventure and the opportunities that scouting provided for young people in the 1960s. It's a snapshot of a time when boys and men came together to learn, train, and fly, creating memories that would last a lifetime. (C)The Scout Association / Mary Evans from Mary Evans Prints Online.
