Summary[edit]

Description

c/n 585. Built 1949 and now operated by the 621VGS Historic Flight. On static display at the 2016 Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT), Fairford, UK. Friday 8th July 2016

The following information is from the excellent 621VGS website:-

“The Sedbergh TX.1 or more affectionally known as "The Barge" must rank as one of the best and most loved of Slingsby’s gliders. This two seat, side by side trainer is robust and delightful to fly. For instructors it was a stable training machine as well as an excellent soaring aircraft.

WB922 was delivered to the RAF College Cranwell 13th June 1949. Spending time at various locations in particular 662 VGS (Arbroath) and 663 VGS (Aberdeen Airport) between 1965 and 1976, whilst in Scotland WB922 was used for the training and first solo of Prince Andrew whilst at Gordonstoun and has since become known as the "Royal Barge". Ending its service days with 615 VGS (Kenley) WB922 passed through a number of civilian hands before joining 621 VGS Historic Flight in February 2004.”
