The BBC video is blocked.  The Horsa with those big flaps would really 
come down.  Better than the Waco CG4As.

My folks had a friend who was a glider troop.  He was training in the 
the northeast US somewhere when the war ended.  He told me that during 
training he never "landed" in a glider.  They were always destroyed when 
they came to a stop.  He wasn't looking forward to actually being in a 
combat landing.

Have you see this video?
