Re: WHO'S BUILDING WHAT FOR 2021
Hi Vince - great photo and details of the Sperber Junior.
Obviously the data chart appears only on the port side (as required by regulation) but have you a photo that shows whether or not the information on the fin and rudder also appeared on the starboard side.

Difficult to determine, it seems photos of right sides of any glider are quite rare. The markings on the right side are different

Re: WHO'S BUILDING WHAT FOR 2021
Now you mention it Vince, its true that photos of the right hand side of gliders are rarer than the left - perhaps because pilots enter the cockpit from the left ?
Competition number 61 appears with the registration D-Sperber Junior. I have seen a photo which has 61 but no name on the starboard fuselage side and its unclear if this was before the name /registration was added or if the fuselage had been broken and repainted.
Your photo with the writing on fin and rudder, is later. The glider now carried the NSFK registration D-11-48 so is at least mid 1937. At this point a small competition number 5 was at the top of the rudder. I still haven't seen a photo of the starboard side in this period.

Edmund Krauser has been very busy indeed: having finished the Rhonsperber and S25 from the SSUK free plans, he's approaching the end of his Steinadler project, too...!
