Default Slingsby Skylarks....




I have lost track of the Sky 4 that I used to own. Wonder if any of you
responding to this thread might be able to help.
The ship was imported new to the USA in 1963(?) for Rene Comte (Swiss pilot)
to fly in the USA Nationals at Elmira, NY. It was intended to be sold at
the end of the National contest.
The sailplane was purchased by Jack Baugh and was kept in the factory where
the Sisu was being built. I bought the sailplane in 1964 and took it to
Monroe, GA and then to the Chicago, IL area when I relocated in 1967. In
1971 (?) I sold the ship to Roy LeCrone (who I have also lost track of) who
bought it for his wife to get her Gold distance flight..
This ship had an original registration number of N-256JB. I have lost the
serial number. I thought that one of you responding to this thread might
have the ship and have changed the registration number. Any help would be
appreciated.

Duane,

A quick look at Richard's site shows that your Skylark 4 was serial
number 1385 and is now registered C-GCUM and based at Deep River,
Ontario.
