Olympic Gliding- Wenlock Games
That was a terrific event and saw at times 30+ gliders soaring on a 2 mile ridge. What a spectacle!
Here is a photographic list of the Olympia gliders which entered. The Ka6's will follow http://www.scalesoaring.co.uk/VINTAG...bum/index.html

WRT the 1936 games, see http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/O...1936spart6.pdf and go to Gliding Also a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKK0_ZfN-pY Gliding was to be adopted in 1940, but events precluded this.
