Hello Nick,
As a bit of information to all Australian glider pilots I can confirm
that the fire at the Schleicher factory was contained within the
final assembly plant.
The main production plant was not affected and no moulds or
other production facilities were damaged.
The final assembly plant
Canberra Gliding Club has a DG303 & trailer coming out from Slovenia
probably late August/early September.
Would appreciate advice from anyone with recent experience on shipping
gliders - a good experience with a shipping agent (or a bad one!), tips and

people and borrowed all the money for a new Libelle. Three of those 4 ar
Hi there
As a brand new sign-up for this list, I was most intruiged by the posts that I
have recieved already concerning Junior members, particularly those from
backgrounds of the AAFC / AIRTC. Having flown with the AAFC for 4 or so years,
I did like a growing number of enthusiastic cadets

This "separation of the generations" is part of the problem.
You younger guys and gals want to be a part of the total gliding movement.
