Very lucky not to have lost a few super cubs (and of course pilots!), a good reminder of just how risky it is to bring out the fleet on gusty days. Interesting at the end of the footage is a single air cadet hanging off the DOWN WIND wing of the glider trying to get it down whilst presumably the rest of his comrades are correctly sitting on the up wind wing! apart from putting some pretty heavy negative loads on the wing, had he managed to get the wing down he would have most probably been greeted with the sight of the glider sailing over the top of his head!
