Default RAF Wave Project 1961

Hi all,

I'm seeking information regarding the RAF's Wave Project during 1961
at RAF Crosby, now Carlisle Airport.

I am particularly interested in the type of gliders used and if
possible to learn the identity of one which made a forced landing on
or around 28/01/1961 with Sgt Leslie Manley at the controls.

Sgt Manley lost lift and was forced down on the remote Northumberland
moors, he was lost for over 24 hours before turning up on the doorstep
of a farm many miles away, having wondered the moors looking for help.

Looking forward to any replies.

Yours,

Jim Corbett
