Glider i/d

Don’t know about the delta glider but the Raynham glider in Hesham’s link looks like the prototype for the Angel Of The North:D

Apparantly in Aeroplane Monthly Vol 7 number 9 page 493 is a picture of the Phi-Phi but I am unable to access my copy at the moment to have a look. Does any have it close at hand.

Nearest guess is the Airdisco Phi-Phi ( I’m not making this up!), crashed flying at the Itford meeting in 1922. Some similarity in side view, but not a delta..as G-ASEA points out there are bracing wires from nose to wingtips which could be mistaken for a delta in a plan view drawing. Otherwise, drawn a blank.

Thank you Slicer,

but I think it was not Airdisco,please see;

Hi,

I don’t remember I find it where ?,but may be in Flightglobal magazine
archive.

Where did you find the three view, hesham? That might help to point someone in the right direction.

Not an early mini-Gigante? (Or do I expose my hardware ignorance?).

It looks a bit like one of the gliders used in the Itford gilder compertion in 1922. But none of those had a delta wing. One did have drag wires from the wing to the nose, Which could be mistaken for the wing.

Sorry,

I will send it again,it was from 1920s as I think.

Ah, it must be a stealth glider!!!!!

We might stand a chance if we could see the photo!
