Description

The Robin was a design by Wacław Czerwiński, as a further evolution of the W.W.S.1 Salamandra and de Havilland Sparrow design lineage. For further information, please refer to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czerwi%C5%84ski_Sparrow This airframe was built and flown by the "10 RD Glider Club". RCAF No. 10 Repair Depot was established in Calgary as a component of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. No. 10 RD was responsible for the overhaul and repair of all aircraft flown at BCATP bases in No.4 Training Command - essentially all of Alberta, British Columbia, and parts of Saskatchewan.
