Mystery Glider

Post by Alex Tankink »

Dear SSUK

I was looking for some help and ideas on a mystery glider as seen at the 20 secs mark in the YouTube video ‘German Aviation Gliders (1910-1919)’. Also see the picture below



I suspect the time period is wrong and it appears in same region of time as an international meeting at the Wasserkruppe around 1920 etc where Fokker and Co attended.

It’s similar to the Harth-Messerschmitt S-14 but I have trawled several vintage glider data bases including the J2cmlplaneurs site with no result.

My hope is to get enough information to draw up some plans and build a faithful representative in 1/3 scale.

Any ideas?

Cheers Alex
