The Zephyr is a glider built by Norman Bruce over the period from 1951 to 1957.
The glider is based on the Grunau Baby design, with modifications developed by Norman Bruce, bringing that classic wooden glider design up to the highest level of quality and utility. His workmanship was outstanding, with no detail being overlooked. One novel feature was the wing struts that could be rotated to act as air brakes.
The Zephyr was donated to the Reynolds Museum (the government of Alberta museum of transportation) in Wetaskiwin, Alberta. As of 2026 it was on display in the most prominent location, hanging from the ceiling of the main entrance hall of the museum.
