Torva Sailplanes

This company was formed by J.C. Riddell and J.L. Sellers on 18 September 1969 to design and build sailplanes and glider equipment.

Offices were taken at 13 Pavilion Square, Scarborough, in October and detailed design work commenced on the first project. In February 1970 a small workshop was obtained in Scarborough and work started on the construction of the moulds for the prototype Torva TA Series 1.
