Don’t know what it was like. But Lasham Glider Heritage Centre have a Flea that I think they would let go.

We had one of these at our old museum at Bletchley Park some years ago. It belonged to the late Eddie Renyolds who got it from a crash site he dug. After we closed the museum Eddie sold it to a dealer. But I don’t remember who he was.

My Dad (Peter), remembers the Velo at Old Warden. In fact he had a piece of fabric of it. He use to go over to Old Warden from Biggleswade skipping Sunday school. His tail is that the local lads told him that if he pedalled very fast down the hill out side the aerodrome he would take off. Each time he rode down he hill the lads said you nearly took off, but you must go faster. I don’t know how many times he did it before he got feed up, with not going fast enough! The family moved to Dunstable in 1935. But dad still has a soft spot for Old Warden, the place he first saw an aeroplane take off. Dad is still playing with vintage gliders and will be taking the oldest Slingsby glider to Bicester on the 20/21 June. Also most of the gliders at Shuttleworth he has had something to do with them. Not bad for a 87 year old local lad.

Last time I saw the Dragonfly at Duxford. I was sat in the Russvia Rapide on take off. It then went to the USA and got broken.

Eric,

Good to see you are getting there. Look forward to seeing the T21. This is the last time I will be using G-ASEA as I have sold my Luton Minor. So Will be changing name.

I remember seeing four in formation flying over our old house at Dunstable during the making of the Battle of Britain film. Better than spitfires.
