Model Variants for buyers to consider when purchasing a Berkshire Concept 70
The Berkshire Concept 70 was produced as a single primary 15 metre class sailplane rather than a family of factory variants. Differences seen between aircraft typically relate to instrumentation fit, competition modifications and maintenance history rather than separate model designations.
