Streak Shadow (912) trip vid • Old South Wales to Dunkeswell, Devon

[IBob]

I visited Dunkeswell in the late '70s. The gliding club there were towing gliders off with old Jaguars (Mk8?) from the wreckers. They took the boot lids off and threw them away so they could coil the tow line and toss it in the boot after each tow. And when the Jag eventually blew up, they just went to the wreckers and got another one......cost about 10pounds, as I recall, as nobody wanted them.

Shadow seems a strong design, one flew from England to Oz quite a few years ago?
