Scheibe Flugzeugbau was a German glider and motor glider manufacturer that was founded in 1948 by Egon Scheibe, near Munich. One of the company’s early successes was the two seat Scheibe Bergfalke (or mountain eagle) which first flew in 1951. The glider was based on the pre-war Akaflieg München Mü13 and was continually developed into subsequent versions such as the Scheibe Bergfalke II, Scheibe Bergfalke III, Scheibe Bergfalke IV and the Scheibe Bergfalke IVM. In 1952 the company launched the Scheibe Spatz (or sparrow) which featured a 13 metre wingspan and also built under license in France and Italy. The “L” models of the Spatz (such as the Scheibe L-Spatz) were fitted with 15 metre wingspans to allow the glider to perform better in gliding competitions. Scheibe developed the Spatz into the Scheibe SF24 Motorspatz, which was the company’s first self-launching motor glider. Fitted with just a single main wheel and a tailwheel (as with a conventional glider) the wings had to be held level until the ailerons had enough control authority to keep the wings level. In 1953 the Scheibe Specht (or woodpecker) took to the skies and was a two seat tandem training glider. The glider featured a high wing which helped avoid wingtip strikes when training students how to fly the ground roll and initial climb stages of the winch launch. The Scheibe Zugvogel (or migratory bird) flew in 1954 and was a single seat open class glider that was designed for cross-country gliding and gliding competitions. The Zugvogel was developed into the Scheibe Zugvogel II, Scheibe Zugvogel III and the Scheibe Zugvogel IV and had a glide ratio of 35:1 at 43 knots. The Scheibe SF23 Sperling (or sparrow) was the company’s first Single Engine Piston aircraft and was a high wing, two seat taildragger. The aircraft first flew in 1955 was similar in appearance to the Piper J3 Cub, but featured a side-by-side cockpit layout. In 1963 the company rolled-out their first touring motor glider, the Scheibe SF25 Falke. The Scheibe Falke was to be built under license by Slingsby Sailplanes and was designated the Slingsby Venture T1 by the Royal Air Force (RAF). The RAF used the Slingsby Venture in their Volunteer Gliding Squadrons and the type was operated alongside the Slingsby Sedbergh and Slingsby Cadet Mark 3 Gliders. The Air Cadet Central Gliding School operated all types from RAF Spitalgate and then RAF Syerston. 635 Volunteer Gliding Squadron operated the Slingsby Sedbergh and the Slingsby Cadet Mark 3 from RAF Burtonwood until the airfield was closed during the 1980s. The squadron was relocated to BAe Samlesbury and under the guidance of Chief Flying Instructor (CFI) Flt Lt Alan Howard, the unit converted over to the Slingsby Venture T Mark 1 which was operated from Samlesbury until they were replaced by the Grob 109B Vigilant in 1991. In 2008 the squadron moved to RAF Topcliffe under the guidance of Squadron Leader William Taylor (Officer Commanding) and Flt Lt Anton Murfin (CFI). In 1961 Scheibe rolled-out the Scheibe SF26 Super Spatz, followed by the Scheibe SF27 in 1964 which replaced the Scheibe Zugvogel IIIB. In 1985 the company rolled-out its first two seat tandem motor glider which was called the Scheibe SF28 Tandem Falke. The motor glider was a development on the Scheibe SF25 Falke, which sat its seats arranged in side-by-side configuration. The Scheibe SF34 two seat tandem glider rolled-out in 1987 and was designed to train ab-initio pilots. The company’s final motor glider was the Scheibe SF36 and featured two seats in side-by-side configuration. As with the Scheibe SF25 Falke, Grob 109 and the Diamond HK Super Dimona, the aircraft was arranged in the tail dragger configuration.
