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/).

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

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?

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).
