Down by the Glenside

This series of pictures shows the method adopted by thb. Rutherglen (39) Group to get their nearly completed Turbi wing out of the factory and on to its transporter for the journey to the hangar.

4 ,{ ffin" following extracts from the letter which accom- I ,Fanied the photographs give a quick picture of progress /at this most enterprising Group.

| 'Glasgow Corporation Transport Department were very helpful and laid on the overhead wire repair squad. We fed the wing out to them with 4" (repeat, inches !) to spare. And from then on it was easy.

'The Turbi is now up in the hangar along with the Auster. The Renfrew Group Chipmunk drops in once or twice a week to keep a watching brief on the new baby.

'The clubhouse is now complete and is really smart and any Group will be ushered in and entertained at one day's notice if they telephone Rutherglen I at least a day before.

'As regards our activities, we have worked every Saturday and Sunday since January completing hangar and clubhouse, so flying has suffered as a result. The Renfrew Group Chipmunk will be coming up to the hangar for the autumn and winter; so in less than a year the Group has produced one 50'square hangar for three aircraft.

'We are all looking forward to seeing all the Southern Groups at Sywell.'

NorB: in the caption to the photograph in the April issue, the Rutherglen aeroplane was incorrectly referred to as a Turbulent. 'Tain't so.' ED.
