Glider at Bradley Bar, Huddersfield.
The Huddersfield Gliding Club formed in September 1930 and received a new German built Zogling glider in early November 1930. They obtained the use of a flying site at Bradley Bar, just north of Huddersfield. A newspaper report I have located states that they also intended to obtain a Reynard glider around the same time but whether this ever arrived is unconfirmed. On Sunday, 14th December 1930 the Club held a meeting to undertake practice flying at Bradley Bar and several successful flights were made but during one landing the glider swung around and crashed into a wall. Which glider this was is unclear; it was probably their Zogling. A number of wire stays were broken and the tail was damaged. Flying on that date was suspended and the glider was repaired.
Pilot - Name unknown.
The Huddersfield Gliding Club held another meeting just before New Year 1930-31 and this glider was again slightly damaged after sideslipping into the ground in a gusty wind, damage to a wing tip occurred. The club later secured the use of a site near the Flouch Inn, on the Sheffield side of Huddersfield but may have amalgamated with the Sheffield Gliding Club later in the 1931.
