I agree with Eric, whilst gliders are not every bodies cup of tea there are many thousands of people in the UK who learnt to fly with the ATC and have fond memories of them. The T.21 stored at Stafford or Prefect in store at Cosford ought to be on public display at Cosford. I am sure they could hang one of them up from the roof of the main hangar.

I hope so. I had stopped visiting it due to it being so slow.

I can’t add much to what has been already said on this thread as I am currently living on the other side of the globe some 8,000 miles from my records. I’m not sure where Eric is coming from in post 16 with regard to FF & RF numbers as the only Slingsby glider which had a detachable rear fuselage is the T.38 Grasshopper – and yes there are many of these where the serials don’t match.

I’m finding this thread quite interesting so keep posting!

Side slipping into the undershoot fence is simply poor airmanship! There is no need to touch down just in side the fence as the runway is plenty long enough to make a normal landing. An important aircraft has been damaged in my mind by sheer stupidity. My heart goes out to those who now have this extra job of repairing the aircraft.

The one at Kemble has moved across the airfield to the cutting up area. I can’t say I’ll be sorry to see the end of it!

VC10 or lack of it. The RAF Museum has missed a real trick with not having one any more! Frankly I think its disgusting.

To all those involved in this project well done. Its great to see the aircraft in camo rather that the all over grey scheme of more recent years. I look forward to coming to see it.
