Office records, like the original drawings for my Standard Austria, but
fortunately some of the rolls were just charred a bit on the ends, and
with great care could be unrolled and printed! A neat experience -
getting that kind of help just dropping in to the factory!

Cheers

Am I to understand that in the last month or so there have been fires
at the facilities of both Schempp-Hirth and Schleicher? That's kind of
curious...

I believe Schempp had a fire 20 + years ago that fortunately only
destroyed some office records.
I remember eading somwhere DG had a fire some years back that
destroyed the DG600 wing molds and they took the opportunity to
redesign the wing with a new airfoil and called it the DG800.
