School days memory of glider

This is the sort of thing you remember from your school days. On June 4, 1970, a glider landed safely in the field at the Abraham Darby School, Madeley.

The pilot was Mr David Millett, chief-instructor at Worcester Gliding Club, who was taking part in a competition, but simply ran out of lift and had to find somewhere to put down.

Youngsters are watching the dismantling of the undamaged glider ready to be trailered away.

Conditions must have been tricky that day, because around the same time a glider landed on Lilleshall Cricket Club’s ground.
