I had my first ever flight from Kenley in a Kirby Cadet MK III Glider circa 1976.

It didn't last long.. A winch cable break at around 300 ft! Luckily the next couple of launches were normal. Quite an unexpected and exhilarating climb to about 1000 ft felt like quite a rush at the time. I hope the Airfield can remain for future generations.
