Believe that a/c is used for glider towing, but no idea if that's what it was doing at the time.

Glider towing fits with the Darlton location.

No further information has been released, some confusion in local press reports as to whether the aircraft was involved in a mid-air incident. All that can be positively gleaned is that it was Darlton gliding Club's tug aircraft.
