Oh, what a beauty.  Nice shot.  If you do get some of her flying, pleeeze 
post 'em.

Funny, though I got my private pilot's license in 1963 or thereabouts and 
had been shooting photographs from much earlier, I had not known what 
shutter speed to use for propellers.  Of course, when shooting sailplanes, 
that's not usually a consideration (except for self-launching or powered 
sailplanes of course).  Can you believe we're trusting our lives to flying 
machines older than we are?!

She's an old girl and drools a little but she's had some recent Work done 
and seems all the better for it.

I'm told she's flown regularly but I have never seen her in the the air. If 
I knew when she was about to fly I'd be there like Doug Herr at Hawk Hill 
during the migration!
