Olympia 463 Hot Ship? 8 June 1962 I converted to the Olympia 463 which was a fairly new machine for the club as far as I can remember. It was a 35 minute flight and I enjoyed something that had a bit more penetration than the Oly 2. As It happens this was the only flight I ever had in this machine as someone broke it a week or two later in a competition. So I was back to an Oly 2 again next time out.

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.
