G'day all, The Gull that is in the museum is owned by my employer (Channel Seven Perth). If anybody is interested in getting hold of the Gull I may be able to assist.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Gliders in WA museum John and Redmond, Bull Creek does have the Gull 1 and the Kingy. The glider that you think is strutted could be the Grunau 2 ex syndicate in WA who were going to donate the glider to the AGM and for some reason it just went to Bull Creek. From what I have been told there was some thought in the gliders at Bull creek being moved to the AGM once they have a site. We can only hope this will happen. John your old skylark, and my dads, has dissappeared. The rego is now on a H-36 Dimona, somewhat ironically with a VMFG member, given the history of the original GFG. It would be good to find the remains of GFG, I understand it was together, and was to be restored but it just didn't happen.
