Richard,

It is the Akerboom-Schmidt T.10, PH-202, the prototype. The second T.10 was known as the Nijs & Van Driel T.10, which was later converted to T.20 (twoseater) and then back to single-seater T.10 III. The third was never completed (wings only built), the fourth was a club-built part fuselage which was later teamed up with the wings of number 3 but never flew. The beautiful quote of an instructor who flew the twoseater: ‘Space is limited in the backseat, but the aircraft has great potential for instructors under 1 meter 40 of length.’

Over to you.

It’s gone awfully quiet. More clues needed?

They did indeed. And yes, you’re guessing 😉

The Sky’s a lovely aircraft indeed. Climbs like a homesick angel, handles well en glides pretty decent for a 1951 glider too. Only drawback is the atrocious visibility from the small canopy…

In that case, here’s another glider for you. It’s not French 😉

Not only powered airplanes too. A worked out that my ‘hourly rate’ on a vintage glider I rebuilt from wreckage (current value divided by the number of restoration hours) was 32 Eurocents. Not a rate that would attract a lot of workshops to take such a thing on as a business:rolleyes:

And that’s without the materials and transport trailer building costs, which were about the same as the aircraft is worth nowadays anyway.

Thank you. Here’s the next. A glider of course 😉

Bonus points for correctly identifying the four gliders behind it as well. Naming the airfield will earn you even more respect…
