Vintage Glider Club in Poland Reviewed by Trevor Atkins
This is the website of the Polish Vintage Gliding crowd.  Very comprehensive site, but it is the extensive list of on-line movies that really sets it apart.  The movies are not small - you definitely want broadband!
Morning Glory -  Cloud of distinction Reviewed by Marc Morley
Many people have now seen various articles of the spectacular wave that is know as Morning Glory, which forms over Australia’s northern Queenstown. The Cloud Appreciated Society’s founder Gavin Pretor-Pinney has produced four short films, presenting the wave and gliders, all in superb quality. In addition to these films the site will also appeal to those who enjoy photographing from the cockpit for their own pleasure.

 
Sagitta Gliders Reviewed by Marc Morley
This web site for the Dutch-designed and built Sagitta. It is in English, and well presented with a wealth of information and easy to use links. It also benefits from regularly updates. New Zealand’s Sagitta is also featured, and is one of five currently airworthy in the world.

Vintage Sailplane Pictures

Reviewed by Robert Smits
A very well layed out website with historic pictures of gliders and sailplanes, throughout history and from all over the world. Pictures are often scanned in originals, but also modern ones of restored gliders. All photographs are categorised after make and model. There are also categories for famous gliding people and glider airfields, and a section for classic sailplanes. You can admit your own pictures if you wish - the site is growing rapidly and in my opinion it's one of the better picture archives on the net!
