Bought new by Wigram Aviation Sports Club and first flew at Wigram 26 Feb 1964 and signed off in Logbook by A E Ashwell. I am looking for any photos of the glider or even pilot log book entries, which would be interesting. This glider was located abandoned and is a possible candidate for restoration to airworthy condition. Any information and history about this glider would be appreciated.

I'd have said Flock Hill looking at the photos - but never flown from Coleridge - didnt know there was a strip there?
