The Olympia 2 was a classic glider of the 1940's and 1950's, its roots came from the pre war German DFS Meise, that was designed for the 1940 Helsinki Olympics that never happened. After the end of World War II glider production resumed using many pre-war war designs improved for post-war use. The Elliots of Newbury Olympia 2 was one such glider, originally designed by Hans Jacobs the Olympia w...
Foka 4 first flight
Просмотров 31 тыс.7 лет назад
The Foka 4 was at the leading edge of standard class glider design when it flew on the 2nd May 1960. Built from plywood moulded into concrete moulds, this glider was a portent of future glider construction and design. Nowadays gliders are built in a similar fashion but out of glass fibre, carbon fibre and kevlar. This futuristic looking glider holds the distinction of being the only standard cl...
Ann Welch at 1:50?
Yes, I believe so. Ann coauthored one of the classic books on gliding/soaring called “The New Soaring Pilot”. What a great video!
En el 69 van Núñez y Vicent mi padre, que falleció en accidente aéreo al año siguiente Gracias por estos recuerdos
Ljudi ptice. Hvala vam na snimci. Pozdrav.
Please show us more of that beautiful Foka 4 🤗
Pour les soirées d'hiver.
Takes me back to my early days of gliding mid to late 1960's. John. FAI/BGA 51417.
Real pioneers of early gliding!
Comment ref K4. Last flew them at Camphill and Morridge in the early and mid 1970's. Not seen any flying recently.
Dangerous glider. Not possible to visually confirm that the wings are attached correctly due to the nature of the bevel bolt. You won't catch me flying one.
Its funny how they often stand at ease for photos.
Good looking glider,I like to flay it !👍
Used to love the sound of 'heavenly choirs' as the airbrakes came out!
Wow, this is beautiful! I’d love to plan a visit to the Centre!
Who is this man 7.05 any Idea, I have seen him in another photo of the event talking to Philip Wills. In the photo I have seen, he carries a camera with flash - is he press maybe? Would love to know if anyone knows who this is. Thanks.
I believe it's Wolf Hirth the German pilot and engineer, founder of Schempp-Hirth Flugzeugbau
I believe that is Derek Piggott. I could be wrong as I don’t remember him wearing glasses. The previous comment is probably correct.
Great video, folks. Cheers.
Great video. Well done Gary. Great work you’re doing at the GHC.
Well done Paul on the camera and all of you who've obviously done a great job. I've been following all the reports about your work. Paul, your grandfather landed by boat in Normandy on D Day 6.6.1944, and was injured that very day by shrapnel. The end of his war service..... Not the same as parachuting from a glider - just thought you all might like a different bit of information about D Day. Because of what happened to your grandfather I'm especially interested in all things connected to D Day.
Yes, I remember him talking about it and how he was repatriated in a Dakota, though there was a definite limit on what he wanted to say about it.
@@PaulsOldVids That's so interesting. I don't know anything about how he was brought back to England. He probably told you because of your interest, even at your young age, in all things about flying.
Great job everyone! Love the video Paul
My Dad got his license in 1966 in Eagleville TN USA in a TG-3. I have a couple of pictures of that plane.

Bought back many memories. I was 13 at the time and a member of the 8th Basingstoke Air Scouts, who can be seen in the background holding the public back. Spent many happy weekends at Lasham with the Scouts,
Urupema Embraer 400 considero o planador mais bonito construído no Brasil!
The music makes Phil out to be some sort of god like person yet he was just a privileged billionaire and a bit of an oaf at times.
Wonder how many of these gliders survive today , I suspect quite a few.
The gliders are beautiful, but "Foka"("The Seal") was the first.
My personal highlights: 1:28 Bill Manuel's Crested Wren. 2:04 Airspeed Tern. Is that the Slingsby Kirby Gull at the end? Lovely footage, Thanks for digitalizing and uploading it for all of us to enjoy. I wonder if there is any footage from the CUGC in existence from the 30s.
I was flying one. I LOVED it! I really liked the position in the cabin and the fact that the legs were higher than the head when landing :-) I felt like an F-16 pilot in it
so cool.. brave and adventurous soles of the early days..
What a wonderful time 🌬️
Love the Woodbine gasper at 2.30.
Who else was suspicious that it could have been a large scale model? I really couldn't make up my mind till he actually got in.
The tow plane is a Robin DR400-180R Remorqueur, in case anybody’s wondering.
It went up like a rocket
De beaux planeurs d'autrefois. Merci ! Le Breguet 901 de Gérard Pierre est aperçu très furtivement à 6mn20 du début. Ce planeur très en avance sur son temps n'était pas encore démodé dans les années 80 (mais pour un usage club, plus pour les compétitions bien sûr). Avec cet engin on doublait tout le monde dans les pompes avec 1cran de votels et à basse vitesse !
Il passe bien vite, malheureusement !
Showwwww!!!
Nice sailplanes and vídeo!
Nice sailplane!
WAS für herrliche Fliegerzeit....-:)
Beautiful paint job
5:44 Sandbags in the cockpit? Interesting ballast choice , they don't look very secure .
Thank you for the upload - lovely historical footage. I feel the viewing experience would be enhanced with the use of rather less-depressing background music...
....mit Anzug, Kravatte und Fallschirm....
And taking the last puff from the cigarette second before closing the canopy 😂.
It looks fast, just sitting there! Like a Red Arrow jet…
What a beauty!
During the early days of Lassham My father was a gliding member. I've got all his log books, and his recordings of the Altitude and distance when he achieved his Gold C and Diamonds. I've got several 35mm slides of the 1959 championships, and other stuff. I shall give it to you for the museum in due course.
Great! Nice video!
GAL Monospar Jubilee G-ADVG
Take off need the music to Raider's of the lost Ark, just to add a pinch of Drama.
The most beautiful glider they have ever built.
I love Jantar,
@@slawomirkowalski695 Me too, all of them, especially Jantar2B
