EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of flight training in the Slingsby T.21b Sedburgh FJD glider, circa 1980. The 2-seat training glider, operated by the Royal Air Force on behalf of the Air Cadets and Combined Cadet Force, is seen here in mid-air against a backdrop of clear blue skies. The Sedburgh FJD, a product of the Slingsby Aviation Company, was a popular choice for training the next generation of aviators due to its simplicity, durability, and ease of handling. The image showcases the glider's distinctive features, including its high-wing design, large wingspan, and open cockpit. The cadets, dressed in their uniforms, are focused intently on their tasks, with one in the front seat controlling the glider while the other observes from the rear. The instructor, positioned in the rear cockpit, provides guidance and support. The scene exudes a sense of adventure and camaraderie, as the cadets experience the thrill of flying for the first time. The Sedburgh FJD was an integral part of the aviation and aeronautical training curriculum during the late 20th century, instilling a love for flight and a solid foundation in aviation principles for countless young pilots. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Sedburgh FJD and the important role it played in shaping the future of aviation.
