Wow fantastic story. Well done for realising the situation. I see you went up again and raised money for the Parkinsons Disease Society, you are a brave man. Well done

Theres a letter missing, itd be G- (something) GBP

No sorry I dont have that information. The photos of the wreakage show the letters GBP on the tail, I dont remember any other numbers or letters. The actual wreakage is used on the 999 reconstruction you can see it fall through the trees at 7:08 on the time line and you can see the letters GBP on the tail.

I just had a look on the Air accident investigation report and it has states letters BGA 3705 is that any help?. Yes it states the year of the glider as 1985 and yes it was a ASK 21. Hope that helps!

My god, hats off to you both for getting out in time! Any idea how high you were when it struck?

We were at about 2000ft, thats high enough for the parachute to open but didnt leave much time by the time we realised what had happened, un buckled our selfs from the seat, stand up, step out of the glider and pull the rip cord.
My 'scrapbook' of the days events tells the story in more detail. See more info for a link to my web page.
