New to the Collection this year will be the Dagling Glider (EoN Primary to the pedants) aero-towed by the collections Super Cub (it was bungee launched last year). This season it will be flown by two collection pilots, one a current A380 test pilot the other a former Typhoon test pilot.

Ahh, beautiful pics. The Chipmunk takes me back to my ATC days. Stall turns, loops, "you have control" at 15 years old, man it was good!! The Sea Hurricane is stunning. Whats the glider?

Strange that the Chipmunk is in Canadian markings as it has the British style canopy.
The glider is the Dagling. :)

Thanks for that. Did the RCAF Chippies all have the bubble type canopy?

I think so. They also had different undercarriage fairings and lacked the anti-spin strake.

Thanks guys

The chippy is a british one in Canadian markings, I have no idea why this is so except that it was bought that way.

The Dagling (before Mike jumps in, its actually a Eon Primary but the two are similar) is surprisingly endearing considering its basically a flying deck chair. The collection has two pilots cleared to fly it. One is an A380 test pilot the other is a former Eurofighter test pilot.
