(Photo number 1770) New rego for the database - The world's only surviving Hawkridge Venture glider, built at Dubbo. The Venture was constructed from Hawkridge’s plans by Dubbo Gliding Club members between 1950 and 1953. The group, headed by Jack Coomber who built Narromine Aero Club’s first aircraft in 1938, made use of spruce plywood and Irish linen left over from RAAF bomber production. Built beneath the Dubbo showground grandstand, the Venture appeared on the Gliding Federation of Australia’s register as number 47 - Narromine Aviation Museum
