I have donated things to museums, only to see them never shown or got rid of. I was also a volunteer at a local museum. When the politics changed and we had to close. It was very hard to track down the people who had donated items, many had passed on. so we couldnt always return items. So now i would never donate to any museum.Its better to sell as at least who ever pays money for things, they should look after it.

The oly 2b is built useing aerolite glue witch has no problem, unlike casen witch must be kept dry. A few oly 2b’s are are still flying. I hear the cost of putting BGA538 back in the air was nearly as much as the glider was worth. Some parts of 538 will fly again in its sister ship at Dunstable in the near future.

anyone would think my son has done all the work on my minor.

This information on the registration came from the book British Gliders by P.H.Butler.

I have been told their was a Luton Minor hanging up in the roof space at the London Gliding Club, Dunstable for many years. Any idear’s of which Minor this was.
