Hi Glen,
took a good look at the info available on this and found it
very interesting.

I also was looking at T21's, as I went solo in 1971 in one at the Crusaders
club in Cyprus. I managed to visit this 3 or 4 years ago and get a picture
of it. I was also looking for another T21 they had, which was badly damaged
in the same year at the inland site (Prastio). I launched this and it hit
an earthen dyke on landing, moving the wings forward by a good foot. I
couldn't specifically see this one though in the listings.

There seems to be enough T49's and T21's around to make it an interesting
get together. We have an self sustaining T21 (the Spruce Goose) at Denbigh
which fly's regularly. May be we should put something together for next
year?

Regards, Malcolm....
