Old Bicester pilots will say the Primary and the T-21. And even older
ones will say the Oly 2B when Don Loucks (An F-111 pilot) was flying it.

Wrights had an open cockpit? Those were cockpits? If you are just
sitting on the wing, do you have a "cockpit"? Doesn't "pit" mean
anything anymore? Dang, what's this world coming too?

Don't forget the Slingsby Prefect. It's much like an English build Baby.

The last GSA club I was in had an Eon Primary. Sort of a no-cockpit sort of
glider.
