[BCMA] Donation of a 1962 Vintage wood glider (sailplane)

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello,

I own a 1962 Vintage German manufactured glider (built by 
Schiebe--Model"L-Spatz55"), stored at Nanaimo Airport (Cassidy).

It has a49 foot-15 metre wingspan and weighs157kg (346lbs).

This aircraft has  an interestingflighthistorysinceit was imported new 
into Ontario. It was also flown in Alberta by one of the founders of 
Westjet.I have all the flight logbooks.

I last flew the glider in Smithers in 1993, it has been in storage since 
that time. As I have since bought another aircraft I no longer have the 
time or resources to bring the aircraft up to airworthinesscondition. I 
wouldthereforelike to donate it to a good home, ideally for public 
display or other educational purposes. The aircraftis very light and 
could easily be hung for display. The wings and rear horiziontal 
stabilizerare detached for transport and are easily reassembled.

There is an L-Spatz in the Winnepeg Aviation museum.

Detailsandphotographsabout this model are easily found by 
Googling'L-Spatz 55'--Wikipedia.

Theglideris presently storeditsroad trailer.

Regards,

Mark Harvey
