Soaring high above the Yorkshire countryside, the Schempp-Hirth Minimoa BGA338 and Yorkshire Sailplanes YS-53 Sovereign 556 dance gracefully in the wind, their wings outstretched in silent flight. The Slingsby T. 61A G-AYZU and Yorkshire Sailplanes YS-53 Sovereign 556, both iconic gliders, share the same sky, their sleek designs and efficient aerodynamics allowing them to harness the power of the elements. Meanwhile, the vintage Chase XC-123A 47-787 looks on, a testament to the rich history of motorless aviation. Join G. H. Davis as he captures the essence of gliding in his book 'Gliding with motorless aircraft,' and marvel at the freedom and exhilaration that comes with soaring through the clouds, free from the constraints of engines and fuel.
