You are winched into the sky at almost 100 mph until you reach 1000 ft.

   Do RAF & ATC documents refer to the same glider?

   • Different RAF and ATC documents may refer to the same glider as (for example) Cadet TX.1 or Cadet TX Mk1 and verbally some gliders were just called by the suffix (eg “Mark 3” for the T31). We’ve even found that RAF documents & logbooks from the mid 1970’s miss-spell Sedbergh (named after the School) as Sedburgh.
