Unidentified (secondary) glider at Hedon aerodrome.

Historian Graham Sharpe has given me basic information about this incident. I have yet to locate any period newspaper or gliding club report that mentions it but will include the incident on this website because he must have got his information from somewhere years ago. Stated to have been on 7th December 1935 the Hull Gliding Club's secondary type glider was being flown around the Hedon aerodrome area when it stalled and crashed. The Hull Gliding Club's secondary type glider was probably the one damagd at Hedon on 13th October 1935 and had been quickly repaired. Graham believes it was then repaired after this December 1935 incident and flown again in mid-May 1936. It was designed and built by club members.

Pilot - Name unknown.
