MARCH ISSUE - GLIDING INTERNATIONAL - About new sailplanes
Interesting 1932 advert for the Airspeed Tern Glider as the the original
Airspeed Factory Building in Piccadilly York has only recently been
demolished
despite attempts to open it as a air museum.

The March issue is in the mail - a very different one from the usual. We
came across a January 1932 publication which we have republished in its
entirety. A laugh a minute. Best flight of the day - 45 seconds for
first
solos.
A prominent simulator manufacturer gives a detailed run down on the two
forms of simulators. The RV version wins hands down.
And the Diana Three has arrived and it certainly is a "looker" with
introductory prices that will surprise the sport. (Got a spar too).
From Russia comes the news of a new 13.5 metre glass ship. They too are
boasting about their prices.
As usual the issue (68 PAGES) is full of news from all corners of the
soaring world.
The last day drama at the Chilean final of the 8th Grand Prix was
disaster
with a Chilean pilot killed. A full report with outstanding photos
from
Aldo Cernezzi. He's a great writer!
And from Brazil comes news of a new syndicate that have put their money
where there mouth is. All about a new wing design that has decided
promise.
Get your copy now.

P.s. Our web pages have been re-built with several pages from the issue
itself.
