Chris, I found one more to your liking, though it was taken with a lowly
E-1. This is a Stemme Self-Launching Glider, with a folding,
concealable propeller. It will cost a bunch of quid, though! Two
place, side by side, folding wings, retractable gear, everything for the
gentleman pilot of leisure.

That aircraft is strange, Jim: I can’t see any method of propulsion . . .
I expect that the flowers have flourished where dirt has been blown against the
rail. You should see the airfields that the RAF still uses, complete with WWII
hangars ;-)

Last weekend, I posted a couple of images of the Civil Air Patrol training
glider in the air. Today, I found it near the front in the hangar. Here is
the cockpit, for anyone interested.

While I was walking, I watched this handsome visitor land. This is a 2008
Cirrus SR22, which normally includes an airframe parachute.

In an area where WWII USAAF hangars once stood, there were a lot of these tiny
wild flowers growing along the old hangar door tracks. Perhaps it has an iron
deficiency?
