Nicholas Gaunt had more than 70 years' experience of flying and collapsed during a competition.
A veteran pilot broke his neck landing a glider in an "unsuitable field", an inquest has heard.
He was taking part in an annual gliding competition and had taken off from Long Mynd Airfield in Shropshire at 14:48. The report said Mr Gaunt's choice of landing area was out of character for him, but he might have selected it because of the glare of the sun, the colour of other fields and the fact he might have been dehydrated on a hot day.His flight computer with a moving map display had also stopped working some 40 minutes before the crash because of a charging problem.
