Take another look at the opening shot. The glider field is close the the landward side of the dunes. The ASK-23 is winched straight off the field and released to fly out over the sea before loosing height to go dune running. I have no idea how they launched gliders after they'd landed on the beach, though. Autotow at a guess. A Skylaunch or Van Gelder winch would be a heavy old beast to tow on the soft(ish) sand forming the road off the beach. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org | |
