(Monochrome Photograph) - Lined up into wind outside the hangars at Woodford is the gliding club's "new baby" the Swallow. Members are preparing it for its third flight. Full of anticipation in the cockpit is pilot Bob Warburton.

Its Club activities were a regular feature of the Avro News with the membership also open to any members of the Avro workers. Flying was stopped in 1989.
