Slingsby Aviation was a British aircraft manufacturer that was founded in 1931 by Fred Slingsby. Based in North Yorkshire the company produced a large range of gliders and Single Engine Piston (SEP) airplanes that were used by civilian gliding and flying clubs as well as the Royal Air Force’s Volunteer Gliding Schools (VGS). The Slingsby T7 Kirby Cadet first flew in 1935 and was used to train Air Cadets to glide, following the founding of the Air Training Corps in 1941. The T7 was then developed into the Slingsby T6 Kirby Tutor, which first flew in 1937. The Slingsby T21 (also known as the Slingsby Sedbergh) took to the skies in 1944 and was used to equip the majority of Volunteer Gliding Schools throughout the UK. Affectionately referred to as the “Barge”, the Sedbergh featured a tandem open cockpit and had a glide ratio of 21:1. The Slingsby Mark III arrived in 1949 and accompanied the Sedbergh at VGS locations throughout the UK. The Mark III sat trainee and instructor in the tandem configuration and had a glide ratio of 19:1. 635 Volunteer Gliding School operated both the Sedbergh and the Mark 3 from RAF Burtonwood until the airfield closed in the 1980s. The school relocated to BAe Samlesbury where the unit converted to the Slingsby Venture motor glider, which first flew in 1971. Samlesbury airfield was built as an airplane factory and during the Second World War, the Handley Page Halifax bomber was manufactured at the site. This led to the airfield’s main runway (07/25) being extended to 1,550 metres, making it a perfect location for training Air Cadets on the Venture (and later on the Grob 109B Vigilant). 635 VGS operated the Venture with a glider pilot’s mindset – the engine was used to climb the aircraft up to circuit height at which point it was turned-off and the aircraft used as a conventional glider. The Venture had a glide ratio of 22:1 and was operated by Volunteer Gliding Schools until 1991, when they were replaced by the Grob 109B Vigilant which had a glide ratio of 28:1. In 1952 Slingsby rolled-out the single seat Slingsby Grasshopper. Unlike previous models the Grasshopper didn’t have a fuselage which, while providing the trainee with minimum protection, gave the aircraft an empty weight of just 132 kg! In 1957 the company introduced the single seat, wooden-framed Slingsby Swallow. In 1974 Slingsby launched the wooden T67 Firefly which was introduced to be used as a two seat aerobatic trainer. The early aircraft had “exciting” spin recovery characteristics and had to be fitted with a modified tail plane, to make the airplane easier to recover during a spin. The Firefly was used by several militaries throughout the world including the Royal Navy and was continually improved over the years into models such as the Slingsby T67A, Slingsby T67M Firefly, Slingsby T67B and the Slingsby T67C.
