From the headstones there, it was apparent that many of the glider pilots did not survive the exercise - whether as a result of landing misadventure or subsequent combat was not apparent.
Given that the British at Arnhem suffered over 80% casualties, I doubt it made much difference if they were glider pilots or not.
