Help Needed for some Vintage Gliders The Slingby Skylark Type 41 2B And Slingsby Type 13 Petrel

[Tom]

Hey Folks,

One is going to be easier than the other, does anyone have access or who can (kindly point me to a contact with someone does)to one of the above to get some decent quality pictures or scans of the Cockpits. AS far as I know only 2 Petrels exist one in the UK the other in the USA.

I plan on doing one of them if not both of them for Condor, brining a more vintage era series. Possibly also the Schleicher Rhönadler the inspiration behind the Petrels Design.

The 2B below is the one i flew in R/L
Many thanks

Wow, that sounds great. I'm sorry not being able to help, but I found that text to a youtube video about a Petrel in Harris Hill 2021, I'm sure, you have already seen that
