Hi folks,
Would appreciate very much if anyone out there could send me pictures,
information, histories, etc, of any of the Skylarks that may or may not be
out there still. Any snippets or anecdotes too! My 'old bird' (the
glider, not the wife!) is still going strong, I hope there are still a few
of Fred Slingsby's creation still airborne.
Cheers,
G. Ballantyne.


Dick Johnson's 2-time US National's winnning Skylark 4 ('63 & '64) is
still putting in 5 hr+ flights at Texas Soaring Association for its
current owner, who has been flying it for the past 30 years.
