EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph captures the exhilarating moment of a young Scout taking control of a Slingsby T.21 glider in flight at Lasham Gliding Centre during the 1960s. The image exudes a sense of adventure and learning as the teenage boy, dressed in his Scout uniform, confidently assumes the role of pilot in the cockpit of the classic glider. Lasham Gliding Centre, located in the picturesque village of Lasham in Hampshire, England, was a popular destination for Scouts and teenagers in the 1960s seeking new experiences in aviation. The Centre provided an opportunity for young people to learn the fundamentals of flying and gliding, fostering a sense of independence and achievement. The Slingsby T.21 glider, a beloved and iconic aircraft in the world of gliding, is launched with the assistance of a tow plane, its wings gracefully cutting through the air as it ascends to altitude. The Scout, with a determined expression on his face, prepares for takeoff, ready to experience the thrill of flight. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of Scouting in Britain and the UK's vibrant aviation culture during the 1960s. It encapsulates the spirit of learning, camaraderie, and adventure that defined the Scout Association and its members during this era. The image is a cherished reminder of a time when teenagers could embark on life-changing experiences, like flying a glider, that broadened their horizons and shaped their futures."
