    Many thanks. Yes, I have them. Thanks anyway.

    A friend of mine told me that I should look at the book โ€œDiamonds in the Sky โ€“ HALโ€ since it is the only book about HAL that come out.
    http://books.google.com.ar/books/about/Diamonds_in_the_Sky.html?id=mDTWGAAACAAJ&redir_esc=y

    Does anyone have it or have access to one copy?.

    There is also an Indian Magazine publication called (Vayu aerospace) which may have information about this glider.
    Does anyone have hear about it?

    Many thanks in advance

    Cheers

    Hi

    Yes, I have both books and I am using the first one us main reference material.

    I am looking for not so common Vengeance. For example, I came accross with this two photos showing a Vengeance fitted with SCI (Smoke Curtain instalation). I would love to add one of this to our project but I do not have any additional information.

    Hi guys

    Many thanks for your comments an input.

    Vultee Vengeance III, FB918 (ex USAAF 41-31048), of 1583 Flight RAF in the Burma theatre, according to Air Britain’s RAF Aircraft FA100-FZ999. It was struck off charge on 14 March 1946. This was the first Vengeance III for the RAF.

    Great, I did not know this information since I only found the photo.

    Hi Mike. Yes, We have that book and a couple of more but most important, Peter Malone has been helping us and therefore we have the RAAF Vengeance covered. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi Simmo. The photos are great and many thanks for sharing them with us.

    Our main concern is that we have almost nothing about the Vengeance with SEAC markings and just a few photos of FAA Vengeance.

    Kind regards

    Hi guys

    Many thanks for your comments

    Hi Dave, our idea is not only build the troop glider but also the smaller one used at the begining like these ones

    * BA Swallow with engine removed.
    * Gopping Go 3 Minimoa (was painted camouflage at the CLE)
    * Schleicher Rohnbussard.
    * Slingsby Kirby Kite.

    The problem is that there is not too much information and even less photos showing them.

    If any of you have photos I will really appreciate your assistance. We only have a couple of them and the Slingsby book which is excelent.

    Kind regards
