EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph depicts a group of eager Air Scouts taking off in a Slingsby T.21 Glider at Lasham Gliding Centre during the 1960s. The young pilots, filled with excitement and determination, proudly wear their Scout uniforms as they prepare for their flight. Lasham Gliding Centre, located in the picturesque Hampshire countryside in England, was a popular destination for Scouts and teenagers in the 1960s seeking new experiences in aviation. The Slingsby T.21 Glider, a single-seat, two-place glider, was an ideal training aircraft for young pilots. The Scouts received hands-on experience in the cockpit, learning the fundamentals of flight and the thrill of soaring through the skies. The launch of the glider, captured in this photograph, marks the beginning of an unforgettable journey for these young aviators. The Scout Association, a leading youth organization in the United Kingdom, played a significant role in providing such opportunities for teenagers to learn and grow. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of adventure, camaraderie, and learning that defined the Scouting movement during the 1960s. The boys and men in this photograph are not only learning to fly but also gaining valuable life skills, building confidence, and creating memories that would last a lifetime. The East Course at Lasham Gliding Centre served as the backdrop for this momentous occasion, with the rolling hills and clear blue skies providing the perfect setting for the young pilots to take flight. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of aviation and the transformative power of Scouting in the lives of young people in Britain during the 1960s."
