Hi, all

Would someone please do me a favor and check out the 3 sailplanes on
this webpage, and identify them for me?

Any help is much appreciated.

The top ship looks like an SZD-59, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZL_Bielsko_SZD-59
and the bottom gliders are certainly Swift S-1's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-1_Swift
The middle glider is a little bit more tricky. While it at first
looks like a Ka-6, the tail is way too tall and high aspect. It looks
an Austrailian Sneider E-60 Boomerang to me, which has it's roots in
the KA-6. http://www.casa.gov.au/casadata/regi...ldpics/GQZ.htm
