ATC Aid Launching

Winch launched with the ready assistance of the local ATC, under their commanding officer, F/Lt Dunn. She took to the air with consummate grace. Later Mr. Hiscox expressed his gratification at the ease with which she could be handled. The Chilton Aircraft Co. feel that their confidence in the internationally famous sailplane has been abundantly confirmed by Saturdays performance and this was enhanced when it was learned that on Sunday Mr. Hiscox flew the machine from Theale to his pre-determined destination at Dunstable. The firm have a long order list for Chilton Olympians which include some for Australia, South America, Denmark and Iceland.

Streamlined Grace

The Chilton Olympian is a graceful high wing monoplane of 50 foot span of wooden construction and is fitted with a comprehensive set of instruments for cross country flying. The machine can be launched either by winch or by aero-towing and lands on a streamlined skid with rubber shock absorbers.
The specially moulded windscreen streamlines the cockpit and dive brakes are fitted to prevent the machine exceeding 130 miles per hour in a dive. The machine normally flies at 37 miles per hour and lands at just under 30 miles per hour."
