Wonderful!

What a treat it would be to operate off of a lush, green field again...

Thanks, Uli! Reinforces my desire to visit Unterwoessen.
They're likely booked up if you try on short notice.
Wonder if the beer is better there or in Brno?

Here is a beautiful, over 50 year old film made by the National Film Board of Canada featuring some of the top performing gliders of the day (Std. Austria SH-1, Sisu and HP-11).

Nice movie - best enjoyed muted! What on earth was the sound-guy responsible for this production smoking??

Any idea which Sisu went to Canada and then came back?

I don’t know the serial number but the Canadian registration was CF-RNH and the pilot was Gord Hicks of the Montreal Soaring Council. The other pilots were Dave Webb in the HP-11 and Mike Stoten in the Austria. All were members of the Montreal Soaring Council at Hawkesbury, Ontario, near where the shots featuring those three gliders were taken. The other HP-11 was flown by George Redzich from Edmonton, Alberta and those shots were taken either near Banff or Lake Louise, Alberta.
