Gull wing glider at Dyce, long ago

Hi Murat, thanks.

The Petrel and the Gull were quite similar in appearance and given that Sling developed the Petrel after building some Gulls including one that had a cantilever wing, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a design link, although the Petrel was supposedly derived from the Rhonadler. Interesting machines.

I see Graham Saw owns the only remaining airworthy Petrel. I wonder if the Gull in the National Museum in Edinburgh is the one in that photo - there won't have been many up in Scotland.
