Glider Launch
Gallery: All galleries » Documentary
The Derbyshire and Lancashire Gliding Club is based at Camphill airfield at Great Hucklow in the High Peak, UK. The gliders use a winch launch, as captured here in this time lapse panorama.
If you follow the winch cable from the glider the mini parachute can be seen. This slows the descent of the cable as it falls to the ground following its release from the glider.
