It is funny how one thing seems so old and others do not. My glider, albeit old, is still ver serviceable, and although old in some design aspects, looks and feels like a modern glider. On the other hand I stepped into the submarine Onslow in Sydney, of which all of its class has been scrapped or put in museums - and it was built the same year as my glider ! :-) Scott
