Primary "Slider" Glider Camphill Vintage Gliding.

A new student has their first attempt at controlling an aircraft in a Primary "Slider" Glider at Camphill in 1949. On this aircraft the fabric had been removed from the wings to prevent it from becoming airborne whilst still allowing the student to experience the effects of the controls.

Lovely people from a lovely time.

That's a brilliant idea, cutting out the centre wing cover to make a ground trainer.
