EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, two Slingsby T.51 Dart gliders grace the sky above Lasham Airfield during the National Gliding Championships of 1961. The Royal Air Force Gliding and Soaring Association (RAFGSA) was at the forefront of postwar gliding in the United Kingdom, and this image captures the essence of their dedication and skill. The Slingsby T.51 Dart, a British-designed and manufactured glider, was a popular choice for the RAFGSA due to its versatility and performance. With its sleek, streamlined design and distinctive wingtip shape, the Dart was an icon of the postwar gliding scene. In this photograph, gliders 334 and 335 can be seen in flight, their wings outstretched and tails pointed towards the horizon. The pilots, clad in their flying gear and focused intently on their tasks, demonstrate the intense concentration required for successful gliding. The backdrop of the rolling hills and open sky highlights the freedom and exhilaration of soaring through the air, unencumbered by engines or fuel. The National Gliding Championships were a highlight of the RAFGSA's calendar, bringing together pilots from across the country to test their skills against one another. This photograph captures a moment of fierce competition, as the pilots of 334 and 335 push their gliders to the limit, vying for position in the thermals and seeking to maximize their altitude and distance. Charles E. Brown, the photographer, expertly captures the dynamic interplay between the gliders, the pilots, and the natural elements, resulting in a timeless image that encapsulates the spirit of postwar gliding in the United Kingdom. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of gliding and the dedication of those who pursue it, and serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation in the Royal Air Force.
