It has certainly been a while since I have updated this blog. I have continued to keep an eye out for interesting gliders and I actually found some on E-bay a number of weeks ago. I purchased some vintage gliders that were made in Japan from an E-bay vendor in Argentina of all places. I couldn't resist getting my hands on these ones as they were unlike anything I have ever seen for sale before on E-bay.
I had to purchase 2 items off of the Argentinian vendor. Each item had a cardboard upper section which I presume was used as a store display. Stapled to the cardboard section is 12 individual glider packages. The first item had 6 English gliders (presumably Spitfires) and 6 German gliders (presumably Bf 109s). The second item had 6 USA gliders (presumably Hellcats) and 6 French gliders (possibly a Dewoitine?).
