Any help is much appreciated. http://volcanoseven.com/Aviation/Gliders.html The top ship looks like an SZD-59, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZL_Bielsko_SZD-59 and the bottom gliders are certainly Swift S-1's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-1_Swift The middle glider is a little bit more tricky. While it at first looks like a Ka-6, the tail is way too tall and high aspect. It looks an Austrailian Sneider E-60 Boomerang to me, which has it's roots in the KA-6. http://www.casa.gov.au/casadata/regi...ldpics/GQZ.htm -Paul |

I think the top two are both Ka-6s. The first might be a Br, Cr or maybe
an E. Notice the cutout in the elevator at the root. Almost looks more like the cutout on the all flying tail of an E. The SZD-59 does not have this big a cutout. Other proportions are very much Ka-6. The second is defintely a distorted image of a Ka-6, and not a Boomerang. The Boomerang has a swept, all flying tail. It is probably a Br or a Cr. The third photo, I agree with Paul. It looks like a couple of Swifts. Steve Leonard |
