For Slingsby gliders in the USA, try the FAA registry sitehttp://registry..faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/acftref_inquiry.asp

Insert Slingsby in the Manufacturer Name box and you get a summary of
all Slingsby gliders in the US. *You can select individual entries for
more info.

I know it doesn't give info on condition or such, but it indicates it is
still in the system and may be viable. *I have extracted names and
addresses from it to use for postal-mail invitations for our regional
Vintage Sailplane Meet.

Not all Slingsby's in the US are on the FAA database. For example, the
one on craigslist is sporting an N number that's currently assigned to
a new C172R so it's apparently been removed from the FAA registry at
some point. There are two T.43F's listed. Cached version of the
Skylark 3 page from Nov 14, 2008 says canceled in the remarks. Today
it says 'Extant in USA'. SN 1092.
