"This Horsa Glider is a replica of the aircraft that were used during the Second World War. Special about this device is that original parts have been used to complete it. There are only two of these around the world. Approximately four thousand Horsa Gliders were produced until 1946. None of these devices have been preserved. That is why this exact replica with original parts is a very special asset to the museum" according to the Warmuseum website This photo is copyright © Fred de Ruiter, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
