Slingsby T-21

Unstallable !? Unspinnable !?

I don't think so.

I was trained in them to solo standard at the London Gliding Club, Dunstable
in 1963.

The two I flew would do a classic stall with nose drop and lateral
instability. We did not have enough height to let the spin develop, and
recovery was immediate when the correct control movements were made.

In fact I think that for teaching those two particular exercises to early
pre-solo pupils they are better than any two-seat glider I have flown since.

Probably - I solo'ed in a T21b back in the 70's at Portmoak in Scotland -
they were a good (unstallable, unspinnable) trainer in their time.
