</p><p>The following information is from the excellent 621VGS website:-
</p><p>“The TX3 was the backbone of the wooden glider fleet, not suited to soaring it was perfect for "bashing the circuit" and trained many thousands of Air Cadets to solo standard.
</p>
XA310 is particularly special as it was delivered to 87 Gliding School Weston Super Mare on 18 March 1953. 87 GS became 621 Volunteer Gliding School where XA310 spent its entire service career so it is particularly fitting to be able to operate this airframe as part of the 621 VGS Historic Flight. Now owned by A P Stacey, XA310 is on long term loan and has been operated with the Flight since 2011.”
