Glider towed by C-47 42-24127 on 19/09/1944

Hello ,

On september 19 1944 C-47 42-24127 from 435 TCG piloted by Lt John W Hesketh towed a glider pilot by F/O Colston to Arnhem. Unfortenally the C-47 was hit by AA fire and crashed in Belgium. Can someone gives some more info on the glider , it seems that the pilot and four paratroppers managed to escape to escape capture and were helped by Belgian civilians.
Regards
