T31 / Cadet Mk3 History search

[Krystal n chips]

I am engaged in a little project, one element of which involves the history of a small collection of gliders.

One of these is the above type , Serial / No WT 914


If, by any chance, anybody has flown / flew this aircraft, any history / location etc you can recall would be appreciated please.

Sorry not in my logbook; closest I can get is WT 913 last flown 13 Jul 1971.
