Description

Built – 1972 | Best Glide Ratio – 28:1 | Tail Number – CVA | BGA Number 1830

She gets her name from a love affair with a SE5a model during Dave’s modelling era in the ’70’s (God that’s a long time ago!). Then, all his models were named after Russ Abbots spoofing of W.E. Johns character Biggles. Any how it also kind of fits with “Blanik”.

Dave purchased “Boggles” in 1992 after it was rebuilt using life extended wings from BGA2009 & then again in 1999 from BGA 1829.

Requiring yet another set of wings in 1999 we thought that her days were numbered… until that is some unknown member of a gliding club from the south of England managed to heavy l& their Blanik without damaging the wings!

Now with yet another set of wings she continues to serve the clubs two-seater role quite adequately.
