I remember seeing a video put together by VMFG with some B&W footage of Fred
Hoinville attempting to fly a Plank. Looked pretty interesting...
A year or two ago Roger Druce still had some copies at Bacchus.

I think if you were to get in touch with Alan Patching or his son Ian, you
will find a wealth of knowledge regarding the Flying Plank.
Alan Ash's book Gliding in Australia also has a couple of pages (140 -
141) on the subject with a photo taken at Moorabin in 1957 where Fred
Hoinville conducted test flights with Jack Iggulden, Reg Todhunter and
Alan Patching observing.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] EPB 1A Flying Plank
I am researching the history of the Flying Plank in Australia. Does
anyone have any recollections of Planks flying or being built? What about
Planks in thge USA or other countries. Would anyone have a set of plans,
construction drawings or construction notes?
