More photos - rigging line, Shark detail

Following photos from Tom Hastie:
















Old fashioned but effective method of passing on info (CD Roger Hildesheim posting grid order)
















Looking from the end of one line of the trailers - From the Shark (see the pretty winglet) to PE, an ASW20BL, to OX, Antares, and MF, a Jantar at the far end.  First Shark I've seen.  VERY pretty.
   Note the technique Emmanuel (PE) used; Tail dolly is open on ground, so that the glider cannot abruptly rotate in a gust.  A good idea, even in the hangar.
















Detail on the 'droop' horizontal stab of the Shark...  Will all gliders get them?
