Although I didn't get to fly gliders with the ATC, the organisation certainly shaped my (and my elder brothers) life. Single parent families and the social stigma that went with them in the 40s and 50s made life particularly hard at times. The ATC provided an out from poverty for us. We both went on to join the RAF, my brother as a pilot and me as an engineer. Between us we served for around 50 years or so.
Thank you 461 Sqn - "Venture Adventure" indeed.
WE992 - I hope you will be adding glass to the historic flight in the near future? assuming the paperwork can be sorted out, of course.
