EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Scheibe SF-25c Motor-Falke G-HBOS, a 2-seat motor-glider and light glider tug, at Husbands Bosworth Airfield during a UK National Gliding Competition in the late 1970s or early 1980s. The Scheibe SF-25c Motor-Falke, manufactured by the German company Scheibe Flugzeugbau, was a versatile aircraft that could be used both as a motor glider and a glider tug. The sleek design of the plane, with its distinctive wings and tail, is a testament to the advanced aviation technology of the time. The photograph captures the essence of the competition, with the Motor-Falke poised on the runway, ready for takeoff. The pilots, dressed in their flying gear, are seen preparing for their next flight, their expressions a mix of concentration and excitement. The backdrop of the airfield, with its grassy runways and hangars, adds to the sense of adventure and camaraderie that is inherent in gliding. Gliding is a unique and thrilling form of aviation that requires a great deal of skill and knowledge. The use of motor-gliders, like the Scheibe SF-25c Motor-Falke, as tugs allows for the launching of gliders at greater heights and speeds, making for more efficient and enjoyable flights. The UK National Gliding Competition was an opportunity for pilots to test their skills against their peers, and this photograph captures the spirit of competition and camaraderie that is at the heart of the sport. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the world of gliding and aviation in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of flight and the thrill of soaring through the skies.
