[edit]

Four of these are not Lepkes, which was a pod and boom design. Numbering the shots fem left to right, no.s 3,4 and 5 all show an open frame glider. No.1 doesn't show the rear fuslage but it appears not to have the Lepke's inverted-V wing struts. It's also too early, as is 4; the Lepke first flew in 1949. Does anyone have a Hungarian glider register, to find out what HA=2054 was?TSRL (talk) 15:00, 14 March 2019 (UTC) Peering at the Hungarian of J Gabor's book, it seems that Lepke registrations were in the 10xy range.TSRL (talk) 15:36, 14 March 2019 (UTC) I'm now reasonably sure, on the basis of fuselage and tailplane differences, that these are R-07 Vöcsöks and from the dates 4 and 5 are R-07bs. The post-1955 no.3 might instead be a R-07d; there was little visible difference.TSRL (talk) 15:53, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If no-one disagrees in a week or so I'll move these three to the R-07 Vöcsök category.TSRL (talk) 16:46, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
