I don't know where GLZ is these days.
When I owned it, it had an open trailer ex Southern Cross GC.
I then built an enclosed trailer which was sold on to the late Mike
Valentine and John Viney.
This trailer has (from memory) the tailplane in the roof, the outer
wing panels side by side with root ends in the front right corner
(looking from the rear open door), the fuselage with rudder at the
front end diagonally across the trailer, and the centre section against
the left wall with underside facing outward.
The centre section is in a cradle at the front trailer end in a rolling
frame, so that it can rotate horizontal once the centre section is
clear of the trailer rear with its door swung out of the way. The
centre section is at a height that clears the fuselage height rolling
on the ground.
A stand holds the external end of the horizontal centre section.
This permits the fuselage to be rolled under, tilted away from the
trailer side as the external stand is removed and the centre section
mated at this somewhat inclined angle. Once rigged, this part airframe
rolls aft away from the trailer and the other lighter parts can be
carried and rigged.

We are attempting to put VH-GRN into service. The trailer is pretty
atrocious and it is a lot of trouble to unpack and to load the
glider.
Does anyone have a trailer or have any good ideas re wing stands,
rigging aids etc.
