ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Unknown glider

Post by Michel_G »

I know this is unusual topic and if the mods think it doesn't belong here or on the forum, feel free to replace or remove it.

Now for my question.

I was looking on a Dutch auction site tonight, when I found several auctions for a glider. I haven't got a clue what kind of (militairy) gliders this are, but I'm pretty curious what kind of gliders this are.

Only thing they say on the auction site: Aluminium glider, wingspan 3-4 meters.

Somebody who can help me with this ?

They were used by the Czechoslovak and East German AF where they were towed by L-39s.
Those on auction seem to be ex CZAF.

Nice find!
