Fate of Glider

Re: the fate of the glider, it was rumoured to have been broken up by local villagers and used for firewood in the cold winter that occurred at the end of 1945. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.29.18.153 (talk) 11:08, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lee Carson

American war correspondent Lee Carson was assigned to the task force that liberated the Castle on April 16, 1945. It was then she took the only photograph of the "cock" glider in the attic. I have updated this information to now read correctly with sources and image. Thanks you. Maineartists (talk) 14:59, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
