| Description |
c/n EON/P/003. Owned and operated by the Shuttleworth Collection. Seen while being towed aloft to display at the collections Evening Airshow. Old Warden Aerodrome, Bedfordshire, UK. 17th June 2017. The details below are from the Shuttleworth Collection website:- After the Armistice had been signed in 1918, Germany was not allowed to have an air force. However gliding was not forbidden and this was a good way for pilot training to be undertaken. Several different designs were produced, however one of the most common was the Schneider SG38 glider. This was a development of earlier Zogling gliders and featured shock absorbers among other detail improvements. Many Luftwaffe pilots had their first experience of flying during bungee launches with an SG38 glider. This glider is actually a post-war EoN Primary glider. The Elliots of Newbury (EoN) Primary glider was a development of the similar German pre-war gliders and had many components which were the same as the German SG38 gliders of the 1930s. It has been finished to represent one of these gliders. The glider has been restored by Peter Underwood and a team of SVAS volunteers. The glider made its first bungee assisted flight on 16th April 2008 in the hands of Frank Chapman. |
