I found this website and thought other members may like to see a very worthwhile project that is taking place now

The link will send you off to the re-building of a full size Horsa glider from original drawings.
The site has a couple of pictures by David Thorp, there is a very nice one called 'surprise, surprise'
Also lots of photo's of the work in progress.

This is not the Glider that is being built for the Pegasus memorial in Benouville, France, but one that will remain in the UK (I suspect at RAF Cosford)

Its an excellent site. No more Blah then here is the link

Regards Graham.

PS the David Thorp piccies are under 'unit histories' Glider pilot regt....
