Not sure if it would be more appropriate to start a new thread as the last dozen posts have not been about the B57.

Lots of chatter about smaller kites involved in supposedly similar tasks.

I think it was Beags who mentioned the thing not made in Switzerland.

I think he may refer to this:

Aurora Flight Sciences - Home

Same was exhibited at Helitech at Duxford and some of the kit from it at DSEI last time.

I understand we had a few in the UK with Military registration and roundels for a while.

We have had a few similar things such as those assembled in Bembridge with strange lumps and bumps that have been recorded.
