As a matter of interest, I happen to own a 1951 Slingsby T.38 Grasshopper TX.1 with a bunch of people in The Netherlands. We fly it on a regular basis. It’s painted in its original Air Cadets c/s, down to the last details. Lovely glider. We do aerotows, winch launching, car tows and bungee. Every flights an adventure. And usually the landing is actually on the airfield 😉

Would anyone out there have any pictures or tales of Grasshopper WZ795? We would love to have them for the history of our aircraft…

PS: there’s also a nice 1951 Slingsby T.34 Sky and a SLingsby T.30A Prefect to fly when winds are too high for the ‘Hopper…
