It’s gone awfully quite here. A hint then: the glider is European and it is once more flying in The Netherlands after this restoration.

Just to add: ‘burt van vlgv’ is actually ‘buurt van vlgv’, which in full means ‘in de buurt van vliegveld’ -> near the aerodrome, in Dutch.

Dave,

That’s good information to have. Saves a lot of searching! I have made contact with a crew here in The Netherlands that did an earlier restoration of a T.21b, and they have the patterns of their original windows. Ours as you say aren’t original to begin with, and for patterns they’re worthloss due to being in a million pieces because a pile of stored goods fell over the aircraft in storage some years ago…

Don’t worry about us despairing: we are getting really geared up now and are more than ever looking forward to complete all the repair works and get it flying again (but hey, that’s what you get with three AML’s working on it!)…

Started work on the rudder. Hinges refurbished, and some replacing of the lower plywood, but apart from that it is in really good nick. This week’s theme seemed to be rudders, since we also recovered our T.34 one in anticipation of new registration lettering…

Well, the list of things we need keeps growing and growing. If anybody knows the whereabouts of the following parts, I would appreciate a lead:

– the brackets in the stabilizer spar that attach the tops of the stabilizer struts to the stabilizer spar (left and right) -> these seem to be interchangeable with the T.31 or so I’m told
– the bracket that attaches the rubber skid dougnuts of the mid-skid attachment to the fuselage
– top (over-wing) cover plate of the gap between the wing roots
– airbrake system bungees
– main skid (although if pushed we could make one ourselves)
– main wheel tube and tyre (rare as hen’s teeth, and we may end up putting the BGA wheel mod in, even though we have a decent wheel with a shot tyre)
– left and right cockpit windscreens (again, we could probably make them ourselves, too, but originals would be very nice)

[QUOTE=blackjet604;1716763} Forlorn and almost forgotten, a very pretty Beechcraft, once a businessmans’s dream lies wrecked and parted in the apex of brakes and wheels to the right and flaps to the left. This was N700M BA-54 an E-18 that was wrecked to the day 8 Mar 82…2 fatalities, but circumstances unknown.

This is either N700M accident 3Oct1983 or N700W 8Mar1982. See:

So, which is it?

Lovely collection at Sabadell airport (but not always open):

Then there’s the two Stratofreighters at a nightclub:

Buy a glider?

Yes, but you’ll have to fit a transponder 😉

No thanks. It’s not built by SLingsby and therefore does not fit our collection 😀

Austria also springs to mind with eastern and western aircraft in a mix.
