The first true B.A.C. aircraft was the one seat 1930 B.A.C. I primary glider. Designed by C.H. Lowe-Wylde and built by members of the Kent Gliding Club, it was similar to the German S.G.38, with wire braced wings, but two struts were later added each side.
One only was built, named Columbus, and its first flight was on 23 February 1930. It survived until the war when it was impressed into the RAF, serial NF746, and was still flying in 1953 at No. 162 G.S. Hamsey Green.
