Recently gifted to the ACHF from the RAF Museum Collection (where it had been in storage for many years) we now have an additional example of the (lovely to fly) single seat Prefect T30. We believe WE 982 was with 621 at locking in 1954 (according to the RAF movement card). This is one of a number of airframes gifted from the RAF Museum to suitable bodies and its acquisition results from much hard work by a few ACHF members, aided by our acceptance as a registered charity in January 2025.
Initially stored at Sandhill Farm our aim is to re-cover the airframe as the original fabric covering is now in poor condition, and then restore the glider.
