Any of our British friends know if either R G Seyes or F M Gobeil are
still around? 65 years ago in June, they piloted a Troop / Cargo glider from Montreal Canada to Preswick Scotland as an experiment in shipping these D-Day Silent Wings machines from the USA to UK. Apparently the 6-7 hours ( per leg) of hand flying on tow over the North Atlantic were determined to be too difficult and the flight was not repeated. If either of these heroic gentlemen are still with us - we should find them and celebrate their flight this summer! |
