[Aus-soaring] Call for photos
Hi .....I flew GLB a number of times in Sept 1974 at
Cunderdin,W.A. the 'Kingi' was then owned by a true gentleman(who recently
passed away) named Doug McLennan.I can try to follow up the aircraft if you
wish.......Jeff Woodward

I
think there were 2 Kingfishers at Port Augusta Gliding Club in about
the
early 60's.
One club aircraft and one private owned. The club one also
went into
private hands when PAGC bought an Arrow. One of them was badly
damaged
(and rebuilt) by a blow over (thermal). GLB was one of these
two.
I have a scanned picture of GLB on my laptop (at home) I will try
to
remember to check tonight.
Regards
SWK
PS My Silver
distance was Port Augusta to Orroroo also.
