Gliders together at Newmarket?

Hi, heard on 121.5 a relay mayday, saying two gliders had a midair around Newmarket region?
Both pilots out and walking but that was it.
Any other news on it?

BBC accuracy

According to the BBC report "A witness said one of the gliders was seen to "nosedive" as the pilot ejected from the aircraft."

Ejector seats in gliders - impressive!
