Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] wow

Newspapers reported rubbish like "the high wind broke one of the wings off".

  It was in really strong wave conditions, and not blue so clouds may have been 
a factor.
An example of the conditions: Jim Payne will be submitting a World 1000k O/R 
claim at 255kph.
  At high altitude, VNE is easy to exceed if you're not paying attention. 
Exceed VNE by too much or pull abruptly to slow down and the wings come off. 
This has happened previously over Reno: Pilot heard a "snap" and had to jump 
out of his ASH26E. He had been enveloped in cloud, tried to push to get out.
  Apparently this pilot's feet didn't touch the ground. The parachute caught on 
a light pole, much better than being dragged off the parking structure in the 
wind.
  Hopefully FAA won't overreact and make everyone do parachute landings as part 
of the BFR.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Nymph

[Arie]

Don't worry there is a plan in place to get the nymph down and make
sure it goes to a good home. 
We have a team ready to get it down and take it to Central Coast
Soaring club at Mangrove Mountain and will do a inspection and see
what is required and if it can be got back to flying status and then
we will decide what happens next ( worst case it goes to the glider
museum for static display).

The Schneider ES56 Nymph:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schneider_ES-56_Nymph [1]

  There's an office furniture shop on Canterbury Rd in Sydney which
has a glider hanging from the rafters. 

 Closer examination reveals it to be an ES-56 Nymph. 

 It looks like it's in reasonable condition, when viewed from outside
the glass frontage. Looks like a bit of water has dripped onto the
port wing near the root, but other than that it looks kinda pristine. 

 I mention this because the furniture shop has a "RELOCATION SALE -
50% OFF!" banner in the window, and I wonder whether the new location
is equipped for aircraft storage.  
 If it isn't, what's going to happen to the Nymph? 
 Perhaps someone interested in preservation and restoration of
Australian gliding history might like to give Bowermans Office
Furniture a call, and ask to speak to the proprietor?

Barry Bowerman flies a Ximango out of Camden, NSW (VH-ZBF) and his address
is in the CASA aircraft register.
Or phone them as Mark suggests (see http://bowermans.com.au/).
