FWIW I think it is a 15M Skylark 2. It is parked behind a standard class glider and the wing looks a little short to be 18M.

I didn't mind either.  :)

The Arrow has a distinctive lump where the skid stops 1/2 way back to the main wheel. This doesn't have it so I agree it isn't an ES59. I must get back to the one in my shed…

I’ll revisit my sources, but from memory that was the caption.

Chris,


I can't enlarge the photo but I did put on my glasses. No way is that the Arrow. Firstly, its Yellow, the one that went to the Argentine was white. Secondly, if you look closely the wheel is actually a dolly wheel attached to the skid. the glider is I believe a Skylark 3.


Dads memory and eyesight are reaching that certain stage.


Cheers

It is, I showed it to your Dad at Bordertown and read the article online.
Can’t you enlarge the pic?
Just got an email from Caleb about it and he thought it would be good for him to follow up on it.
Told him your Dad had the most recent contact with the owner.
Just sent a heavy but polite email to Ian Grant. I’ll forward it to you.
I want to get on with the other GFA issues but cannot until these are out of the way as they cannot handle too much stress at once.

Not sure about that. The pic is too small but I can't see the nose skid.

The yellow aircraft is the ES59 Arrow that competed there in the early 60’s. Only pic I can find.
A/C is now languishing I believe in a trailer in California.
