When I tried to find out about a Caterpillar badge. I wrote to Irvin’s. They told me they could not inform me of the information because I was not a family member of the badge holder.

Dave

I hope to be there Its only 10 minutes up the road.

I have on a list that BA Swallow’s G-AEHL /BK895. G-AFGC/BK893 and G-AFGD/BK897 where used at RAF Thame (Haddenham)
15 Slingsby Kirby Kite 1’s where used. I have a few photo’s of BGA400 and BGA258 taken over the last few years on Facebook ‘Kirby Kite1’ also a few on the Vintage glider Club wall.

Santiago,
If you can get the book ‘The Wooden Sword’ by Lawrence Wright there are a few photo’s of Kite’s and a photo of the BA Swallow in the background, I though they only removed the propeller?. The only photo of the Rohnbussard I have seen it was painted in cream with aluminium nose cone. There are photo’s of Slingsby Kirby Kite’s at Middle Wallop Museum, Lawrence Wright collection. Thought not as many as when I first went to look at them. When we restored our first Kirby Kite which fly’s at Haddenham (RAF Thame). Middle wallop also have a Kite in the Museum but this was never used by the military, but it painted in camouflage.

That how I remember it when it was based at Luton airport for a while.

Dave

It was glider pilot training today. We had the Slingsby Falcon 1, Slingsby Petrel, the Camouflaged Slingsby Kite 1 and the Minimoa flying.
