Now this collection when all done will be unique and be of rare heritage to show how the glider force did it in WW2... very glad to see this is been done finally.

Are those gliders both original or repros?

The Horsa is scratch built and is exact to the finest degree.

The CG-4A (Hadrian) frame and floor are original, sent from Lubbock in trade for Horsa bulkheads, spar, wheel carriages and other steel parts.

There are some more photos from a subsequent visit to the Assault Glider Trust at Shawbury here http://forum.planetalk.net/viewtopic.php?t=5113. The thread includes a link to the Assault Glider Trust's website. They're doing a wonderful job of commemorating a very brave group of men.
