For those of you with an interest in "things Colditz", you may be interested

to know that the RAF officer responsible for the design and build of the

famous Colditz glider is alive and still very active - despite being well

into his nineties.

Though his flying days are well past, this absolutely charming man spends

his days painstakingly building a self designed single-seat plywood

amphibian in the hangar at Old Sarum. He has recently started covering the

flying surfaces in the same blue gingham cloth that his famous glider

sported. If ever there was an example of dogged determination - this must be

it and he is an inspiration to any kit builder that feels he is losing the

will to continue.

Those (UK based) DOTHers visiting Old Sarum might like to wander in to

admire his work and have a chat.
