Cant see a relevant section for this but wondered if anyone had a photo of Slingsby Glider XE785 / It was the last one I flew in before solo checks and solo.I have managed to get pictures of all the things I flew in the cadets except this one and a very fast thing I wasnt in at Leuchars.A pal said he thought he had one but it was when landing and he had to leg it as he underestimated the speed .It was a bit blurry dont know if it was camera shake or brown stuff.I have seen it on a few sites but couldnt download the picture despite it being allowed? Not really important in the big picture but the ones I could download looked fit for scrap heap. Thanks for any help

It's now at the Southwest Soaring Museum in the USA, photo here on AB (not of much use to you though) :- https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1084410
Museum's website :- https://www.swsoaringmuseum.org/ Maybe try contacting them for a photo?

This thread would be better in the Mess.
