I had no idea.
My Libelle actually started life at my very own gliding club, back in the early '70s.
Its original owner was a member back then. It obviously went through a number of owners and clubs all over Australia during the last 43 years.
Its then owner even loaned her to a Spanish pilot to fly in the Waikerie World Championships back then.
The pic shows her at Balaklava GC when she was new, in early '70s.
The Blanik AP in the picture was the glider I soloed in, 1979. This image holds special meaning for me. I left the club in late 1980, and rejoined August 2015. Looks like we both have come home.
What goes around, comes around.
