Available at 'all nodes', this is just the sort of thing FSX is good for, just a shame I cannot install it!@
Here is the blurb....

FSX Airspeed Horsa Glider. The Horsa glider was used by the RAF in its WW2 airborne operations. It was bigger than the American Waco CG-4 and carried 30 troops vs. the Waco's 15. This is a FSDS v3.51 project compiled with Xtomdl into FSX (SP2). It has the usual animations plus opening door, steps and tail cone. The 2D panel and VC are based on a picture and the VC has animated controls. A low definition model of a Handley Page Halifax is included for use as a glider tug. Instructions are included to make the Halifax the default tow plane. By Paul Clawson.

I wonder how you fly it. Can you keep it aloft on thermals, like a normal FS glider, or is it a one way trip downwards like they were in real life ? It might be fun trying to land at the Orne Canal bridge in the dead of night, and see if you can do it as accurately as they did. ;-)

Paul K - Sounds like you've come up with an excellent idea for an FSX Mission!! Anyone willing to take up the challenge (if the designer of the Horsa isn't already working on just such a mission of course)?!
