A unique glider collection in Portugal- also needing a new home!
As you may have seen in Sailplane and Gliding, ( S&G), a collection of five vintage gliders has become available in Portugal. This is a sad situation, since the owner of the gliders ( Henri Note), passed away last year, and his widow, Mia, must necessarily dispose of the five gliders.
So what are they? In age order, an SG-38; a Grunau Baby; a Spatz B ; a Ka-8,and a Ka6CR. Sample photos are shown here. Henri Note had a really superb and exceptionally spacious workshop, and the photos all show meticulous preparation of the various gliders as they were restored.
Further details can be provided by Henri’s widow, Mia, who has generously offered overnight accommodation for prospective purchasers- however, you must ‘bring your own trailer’, as well as your toothbrush. The gliders are located in Macao, which is about in the middle of the Portugal. The contact email is rik.note@gmail.com.
