There were about 1,000 of these nice KA-8 sailplanes built in the early
1960s. Their wing and tail feathers are wood and fabric and the fuselage is
steel tubing and fabric. The are still a great entry level glider and fun
to fly.

I use to own a Ka-6E which was all wood and fabric. It was my first
sailplane.

Firstly a correction to my post, the registration should have read G-CJQZ.

I understand from a search that it is a Schleicher K8B but I don't know
the age.

They had four or five various gliders flying when I popped into the
viewing car park but as ever my lens struggled to get close enough to any
of them as the airfield covers quite a large area.
