    Mr Paul Hendrik from the Glider Exhibition at Wolhaze and his friend arrived on Tuesday night from Holland, I had a trailer ready for them, and on Wednesday they set off returning Thursday night with a Horsa cockpit, for his Exhibition.We today Friday offloaded the cockpit and loaded it on to his trailer he brought over with him, this required a frame being made to sit it on its back,all went well and its now ready for the trip to Holland on Monday.
    It is another important exhibit to add to his ever expanding collection.
    I have known Paul for many years now, and can remember when a glider exhibition, virtually on the drop zone was just a dream, well those that have visited his exhibition will know, through drive, and determination it is coming to fruition and I/we are happy to be able to help in a small way, to enable its progress, he is proof that as the GPR motto says Nothing is Impossible.

    Great pics - shows just how flimsy the plywood construction of the gliders was - did it come from Shawbury?

    Good grief! That's just what our group needs!!

    Where did it come from Lofty?

    We really must get over to the museum some time soon.

    What a great addition for his museum, and to think last year he was already running
    out of space.

    Just a quick update, the fuselage arrived safely at Wolfheze, and now forms part of the exhibition, have added some better pictures than mine, with the cockpit wrapped for its safe journey to the Nederlands.
