Trouble is that the Japanese authorities are reluctant to allow old gliders
to fly. Mr Honda is very sick with a terminal problem. Ken Ueyama is helping
with the future of the aircraft Mr Honda has. In the Japanese gliding museum
they are currently retoring the Condor 4 two seater which will be based in
Australia. We are hoping the same will happen with the L/W Kookaburra and
Kingfisher.
Speaking of high tows, when the Golden Eagle was displayed at Oshkosh in
2000 one of the smarter Yanks asked Alan how high the aerotow was to enable
it to fly to the USA.

If it was VH-GHD it is now in Japan along with Kookaburra VH-GLR.
