Description
The aircraft was discovered in a fruit packing shed in 1943, and in July 1945 she made her first flight. I reckon it would take more bravery than I have to go flying in though!!!!!

and lots of -warm- clothes! very cool pic!!!
Wow, talk about basic.
Looks alot simpler than the Wright Brothers earliest flying machines. I must say the seat looks very comfortable. Well seen. What else is in that magical hanger?
Great picture, wow!
I know how you feel...something about always being the first to the scene of an accident!
So fragile!
You don't fly in it Andrew you fly on it and I agree with you, it takes a brave person or your mother-in-law!!
I dunno, i'd give it a go even if it does look like a toy made out of balsa wood :)
Jayfar ... lol, your mother in law, that's so wrong, but yet so funny at the same time. Nice Shot dude, cool looking little glider, I would love to have something like it, just imagine the great areal shots you could take from this
So cool... And rare! Well found and shot mate! AND!!!!!!!!!! LOOK, a Fairy Firefly, behind it! lol Cool... Rob
Superb capture my friend. God Bless.
Man that's a beauty. I'd love to take it for a glide. Rather primitive landing gear but I've seen worse :)
I'd do it! Looks like fun Great capture
Not a plane for those with vertigo!
Great capture. They flew this thing? Wow!
great foto.
Not much to her and yet she flew - a wonderful photo.
Looks like a large balsa cut-out. Would be scary to land! Clive
