Dickson glider built by the Aircraft Club, Harrogate, from “Flight” drawings
December 1930: The Aircraft Club, HARROGATE, started with a constructional section for its members. They built their first glider, a Dickson type training glider, and the experience gained with this, together with the talent they have available, has enabled them to cope with all repairs themselves. The first glider was completed and taken to Healthwaite Hill on November 15 1930 and successfully flown and meetings have been held there every Sunday since that date. Over 115 flights have been made in this machine in winds of from 1 to 40 m.p.h.
