I just noticed in "Windborn" that the glider flown and forced to land on the beach was a Janus M. Isn't that a motorized Janus? Maybe they pieced together clips from several flights?


Yes, the film was made over a number of flights, and certain things were staged for dramatic effect. Shhh!

Victor Quebec was later owned for several years by a member of my club (Wellington), before being sold to the Whangarei club. You can hear Rob G make radio calls from her at 0:42 in my video http://youtu.be/kJD395MgJBo
