On 15th May 1992 this glider was being winch launched at the gliding site at Sutton Bank when the glider canopy opened. The hinge was broken and the rear perspex shattered. Whether the pilot cast-off prior to launch or had to take off with it open isn't clear. The canopy was probably unlocked or only partly locked at the time. The identity of the glider is not known.
Pilot - Name unknown.
