AIRSPEED AS.51 HORSA PLAN

[JOHN THORNE]

Does anyone know where I can get good 3-view drawings and a good plan for the Airspeed AS.51 Horsa assault glider? I have tried the French site several times but have had no reply to my emails. I have a few 3-view drawing from searching the Internet but they are not very good and don’t appear accurate. I would appreciate any help.

Regards,
John

Hi John, There is a chapter devoted to the Horsa AS.51 and AS.58 in H A Taylor's book "Airspeed Aircraft since 1931". Nine pages of text and a good 3 view of the AS.58. Also I seem to remember that a section of a Horsa fuselage is in the Army museum at Middle Wallop.
I hope this helps.
Regards, Don
