</p><p>The following information is from the excellent 621VGS website:-
</p><p>“The Sedbergh TX.1 or more affectionally known as "The Barge" must rank as one of the best and most loved of Slingsby’s gliders. This two seat, side by side trainer is robust and delightful to fly. For instructors it was a stable training machine as well as an excellent soaring aircraft.
