Hi,


although we know a little about that British designer projects,such as a twin engined
which was mentioned in Flightglobal;
http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,4179.msg32950.html#msg32950


here is the Chilton Cavalier single seat high wing glider project of the end of WW2,
with 15m span,unfortunately never saw the light.


From Sailplane and Glider magazine.

From http://www.chilton-aircraft.co.uk/nuacinfo.html:

'Towards the end of the war the authorities authorised a certain percentage of man hours towards post-war product development calculated to assist post-war UK exports. During 1944 Chilton designed the Chilton Cavalier, a single seat 15 metre span sailplane for production after the cessation of hostilities, however these plans were shelved when they were approached by Dudley Hiscox, the noted sailplane pilot, who asked them to build an Olympia Meise sailplane.'
