Zogling glider at Stoupe Brow, Ravenscar.
On the weekend of 23rd and 24th August 1930 the Scarborough Gliding Club arranged a meeting at Ravenscar, the mishap at Scarborough some
weeks previously, again arranged by the Club did not go to plan and Magersuppe was keen to prove the new sport to his critics.
Flying had taken place at Stoupe Brow for a few weeks to prove it was a suitable place to be using. Flying on the Saturday of the meet was
limited because of fog, test flights were carried out but no demonstrations given. Sunday came with more favourable conditions, and
infront of 2000 people, flights in the
morning took place. The flights in the afternoon saw two mishaps, one incident saw the clubs instructor damage his machine (detailed on the previous incident).
Following this damage, the Scarborough clubs "Zogling"
was then used by a number of pilots and a number of flights took place before it too was damaged late in the afternoon when it crashed on landing damaging a wing and its undercarriage.
Pilot - Mr Turner, ok.
A Halifax would later crash at Stoupe Brow in 1944 with the loss of all aircrew on board, this is detailed on the 1944 section to the North Yorkshire Moors
section to this website.
