The Rhonbussard had been impressed into the RAF and was being used by the Development Unit of the Central Landing Establishment, based at nearby RAF Ringway, to establish tactical procedures for future use in warfare. Here it has landed near the Macclesfield (Cheshire) railway viaduct to simulate its "capture". The glider did not survive its wartime service.
