Vintage Kiwi News No 3
The Feature Glider this issue is the Weihe, together with a three view plan, and the Feature Museum is in Sweden. The story of Olympia "Yellow Witch"'s 1949 tour takes us from Auckland to Dunedin, on flights that today would have ended up in court. Advice on how to fly on Irish beaches, without upsetting anyone is essential for the adventurous. Chris Williams article shows pilots how scale glider modellers cope after a winter layoff, whilst Martin Simons explains what makes them tick.
Not one two, but three seater gliders are covered, one a rarity, the other popular in its full size from in the USA, and in single model form in the UK. Learn about new ways of carrying gliders, early gliding in Hamilton, and lots more.
