As a result, one of the gliders struck the ground, killing the 50-year-old male pilot and seriously injuring the 70-year-old male co-pilot.
The injured man was taken to Liverpool Hospital where he is recovering.
The other glider was able to land safely, with the 72-year-old male pilot escaping uninjured.
