Looking for pictures

I first flew with what was then, No.42 Gliding School at RAF Cosford on August 6,1955 with initial 2 launches in Sedbergh WB926, followed by 23 more launches in MkIII Cadets, WB870 and then went solo in Cadet MkIII XA290 on August 11. I stayed on and eventually became a civilian instructor and completed some 800+ more launches before joining the RAF in 1958 on a short service commission flying Provosts (9 cylinder radial) and then Vampiresn.

Would love to see some pics of Sedbergh WB926 and Cadet MkIIIs WT870 and XA290 if any exist
