There used to be an open cockpit "overhead wing" twinseat glider at Shenington. Does she still exist? I remember her being blue but I could be mistaking

I think the old T-21 was scrapped along time ago...but they do now have a red one that flies.

Later i flew a PA28 to Dahlemer Binz in western Germany in the Ardennes, they had several of these old gliders there, beautiful airfield for a club outing!
