WINDSOR glider WMA and GC No.1

   The glider, which was of Chanute type, relied on weight shift for control and was ready for trials by September 1912. By the end of the year Sydney Camm reported that five members had flown with only one mishap. It was tested originally as an equal span biplane, but was soon fitted with top wing extensions. The machine stayed in use until the end of March 1913, when it was wrecked during a gale.

   Data
   Span 32ft
   Chord 4ft
   Tailplane 10ft by 2ft


WINDSOR glider WMA and GC No.2

   Experience with No. 1 indicated the need for a more advanced type with controls, and work on this commenced in April 1913. The machine was complete and exhibited at the Royal Counties Show in June and, in August, was tested in towed flight. It would seem that, with the coming of winter and the need to travel to a suitably sloping site, little was accomplished with No.2; by November the members were considering a powered machine.
   The glider was an equal span biplane with double acting ailerons on the top wing only. The outer wing panels each of 9ft 6in span, and comprising two bays, were detachable for transport. The chassis had twin skids and the two 24in diameter wheels were sprung by rubber cord. The chassis contained a bucket seat and was braced by long struts to the top wing spar joints.

   Data
   Span 25ft
   Chord 4ft 6in
   Gap 4ft 6in
   Area 225 sq. ft
   Length 15ft
