“This aircraft still wears toned down roundels on its fuselage, red, white and blue roundels underwing and has no fin flash. However, the Sunderland has been painted sky grey overall, losing its squadron badge in the process….”

“British Airways’ fleet at present consists of five Lockheed 10As, seven Lockheed 14s, and three Junkers JU.52s. The
last are used only on the night mail run. Lockheed 14s will be used on the West African service. When they receive the
Fairey F C 1 transports British Airways will have a majority of British machines. The development of this type is being
handled by the Air Ministry. Two have previously been ordered and an order has recently been placed for twelve more
of them. The prototype should be flying in 1940 and the type will be used for European services and not for the
Atlantic.”

This glider which started life at the Empire Test Pilots School in 1947 has been saved and is about to undergo restoration. If anyone has any photographs or information on this glider I would appreciate it.
