Hi there new to the forum, I am from the netherlands

I try to find out more about the Horsa Modification tags, as were I could find information about the modification numbers, the Contractors who buiild Horsa/parts and if anyone could tell me how much tags would be in a plane at one occasion I found 3 tags from one glider on the former LZs at Arnhem

Hello Phillip,

Can’t add much more than what’s been said already but just wanted to say Hi. While we don’t know each other I do know of you through a few other Dutch GPR historians.

I vaguely recall you bringing up the same subject many moons ago on the old Wings of Pegasus forum?

Thanks for that info Richard, any idea what this would do for the Horsa MKI?

I think each Horsa was build from 20 components

Philip
You can expect to find one modification plate for each component, for example a flying control surface, door or undercarriage leg. Smaller items like an instrument would have a stuck on label with the same information. If a particular part had been subject to lots of mods then another plate would be attached next to the first.

Welcome to the forum, Im sure someone here can help you (unfortunatly I can’t).

Maybe you could post a picture of the tags, that way it would be easier for people to help you.
