Ian was able to complete the inspections and evaluate the glider at Bacchus Marsh on Saturday December 21.

Built May 1965 as S/N.009 and imported by John Roake, the glider has an interesting history.It originally flew in New Zealand as VK-GEM at the Piako Gliding Club, as did Dennis, though he never flew it at this time.
