Moonrakers Gliding club Membership Card




This is the Club membership Card on which was recorded the aircraft one was permitted to fly, and other club tasks that one was checked out to perform.

The aircraft in the fleet at that time were;
Tutor, Grunau, Olympia 2 and Olympia 419. The training aircraft were a T31 and T21. We also had an occasional tug which was a Chipmunk.
