This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

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
