I'm tidying up my logs would like infomation on the T21 known as

Was the correct designation for this glider T21, T21B, other?

Also curious to know if it still flying.

thanks

Although I've flown a couple of these, I never realized the British
tradition of naming them - quoted from the Lasham web site:

"There seems to have been a tradition along the years of naming T21s.
At one time, Lasham had Daisy, Fanny, Rudolph and Min. Min (apparently
a cartoon character of the 50s, and, before you ask, yes I'm too young
to remember) was the glider that was built by the boys of Leighton
Park School. Other famously named T21s flying today are Bluebell,
Snoopy, Lucy and Daisy (not the original Lasham one, however). Snoopy
is owned by a massive Talgarth syndicate and regularly spends many
hours over the Winter ridge soaring amongst the Black Mountains while
Cambridge-based Bluebell, who celebrated her 50th birthday with a
party last year, is often to be seen soaring over the flatter East
Anglian countryside."

No word of Kermit in this article, but maybe one of the existing
syndicates will be able to fill you in.
