Can anyone put a name to this one please? - Halcyon


Recommended Posts

Sorry folks, me again. 

 

I succumbed to temptation and bought another glider from the same estate sale I picked up the Centiphase. 

 

Couldn't resist it; tissue covered as you can see, 113" span, 2-channel, and with a distinctively undercambered wing. Very light. A lovely sculptured nose too. All-moving fin. But can anyone pout a name to it?

It could be a John Hancock designed Halcyon - RM 118.

What span is it ? The Halcyon was 110" very lightweight, IIRC about 5 or 6oz/sq ft - too light actually for most competitions back in the day.
