Description

A glider in flight and men in civilian clothes look on. The men are unidentified, however, they are probably RAAF airmen of the Empire Air Training Scheme in either Canada or England. One of the men, perhaps even the glider pilot, may be 410555 Aircraftman Cyril James Moore, later Sergeant (Sgt) Moore, 75 Squadron RAF, of Coburg, Vic. Sgt Moore, 25, was killed in action on 5 July 1943 while on flying operations over the Friesian Islands.
