Slingsby T45 Swallow EMK Bidford 2005

I loved flying this glider, despite the design washout of the wings. Longest flight was just short of 3 hours.

All gliders these days look so "samey", give me wood, dope and glue any day!!

Quite agree. Nice and easy to repair those little scrapes, tears etc. I had many happy hours flying similar types.

Lovely stuff. Wood and dope was so much fun to fly although my club used K-6e and K-8 in this class along with a Barge.
