Between 1st and 9th September 1934 a national glider "derby" meeting was held at Sutton Bank and was arranged by the British Gliding Association. Some fifty pilots had agreed to take part in contests for soaring, distance, altitude, duration and other flying. Many thousand spectators travelled to Sutton Bank to watch the events. Over the course of the week a number of gliders were damaged in mishaps. On Saturday, 8th September 1934 the Ulster Gliding Club's Grunau Baby glider was blown over by the wind. It appears to have been unoccupied at the time.
Pilot - None.
