Thanks digedag1

That is some great detail along with yogy and richardb id of the Gotha ka 430 glider (1 of 12 supposedly). I am probably going to visit my father in a few days and will ask him about his recollection of the mission and whether he was bounced by any fighters. That along with heavy flak was a frequent occurence. In the Spit Mk XI he could outrun or evade an ME 262 if he got a head start. He and his fellow pilots flew alone and unarmed so they were at a distinct disadvantage against the German fighters.
