"The headline makes it sound as if the pilot was in trouble and crashed.
I agree that the glider made a landing in a field, no doubt because the pilot
could not find any rising thermals to gain height. Safe and controlled landing
by the look of the picture.
The photographer was just being alarmist in stating the distances to the
nearest houses perhaps to get a non-event into the paper."
