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,

By chance, I found a Skylark currently advertised on Craigslist in
California. The advertisement has pictures and the sailplane has a
rather big trailer. If it were not so far away, I would be very
interested in it. For the price, it looks pretty good. You can search
Craigslist in Orange County for the ad. For those interested, I copied
the ad below: (Please note that this is not my advertisement nor do I
know the individual selling it. Therefore, I left the phone number off
the copy below but it can be found on Craigslist along with the
pictures.)

Slingsby T.43 Skylark 3 Sailplane with trailer $5000

1957 Skylark 3d Sailplane complete with trailer.

Good condition but needs some minor work. Trailer just had new paint
job and is also in good shape.

Glider and trailer are located in Wildomar, CA. Interested parties
only. Thanks!
