I notice that the RAF Museum is taking another slating and I think you are quite right that it is mismanaged.

Perhaps the reason it is so far behind the likes of the Smithsoniam is funding. There are plenty of people on this forum who are quick to knock establishments like the RAF Museum yet I bet seldom offer their time up to volunteer to help.

The bottom line is in this country the government under funds everything and you get what you pay for.

The vintage glider club produced a CD with all the ATC T.21 AP’s scanned in PDF format on it.

Have you any photos to post of your 21 as you found it?

It was when I went in May 15. It looked closed when I drove past but on reaching the gate on foot I found it open.

You could try Richard Cawsey at Cotswold G C, Aston Down as he is an expert on the individual histories of UK gliders.

The EON Primary on display at the Museum of Berkshire aviation is mounted on an original EON tripod which is considerably different to the tripod used with the Slingsby Grasshopper.

I think the unit moved to Boscombe Down.

The Sea Balliol is back on display or it was last week when I visited. Personally I think it should be at Yeovilton as I can’t see its relevance other than BP was a midlands based company.
