Description

The Edmonton Soaring Club was first organized in the summer of 1947, by U. of Manitoba Engineering students and local gliding enthusiasts. The new club purchased a set of plans for a Breigleb BG6 utility glider, construction starting July 1947. The glider was not completed at that time.
