simon barr Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Terry, I think onetenor is referring to the picture on page 46 of the latest mag (March). If he is, then its a Slingsby T21.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Miller Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 a Few years ago I went to the huge vinbatge glider rally at Tibenham. MY everlasting memory is of a huge thermal with a big gaggle of vintage glider going up in it including some of the sleekest types at the rally. And right at the top, going up faster than all the rest was a Sedberg, commonly known as "the barge". There is no substitute for wing area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Walters Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yep - just seen the digital copy - The look on their faces is how I would look if I got the chance of a ride in a Barge again. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Fenton Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It is a cracking picture, and one I would frame and put on my aero wall "These 3D printed pilots are so realistic" thought Shaun as he lept onto the left strut to level the wings Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
