Arthur Thornton Butterworth at School in Wales

Arthur Thornton Butterworth (my Gramps!) when he was 4 or 5. I think it was fan something or other in llandues. Not really sure and have no idea how to spell. Will ask the next time I see him!

Joseph Victor Butterworth and gliding!

A little bit about my Great Gramps - Joseph Victor Butterworth. Died in 1976 at the age of 75. Gramps calls him 'Our old chap' and refers to him as 'Jo'.

A brief story that was interesting is on about his gliding expliots sometime around 1936 - 1939. He used to go to Long Marsten Gliding Club where he used to fly in gliders made from wood and canvas!
