Assault Glider Trust
Founded2001
Registration no.1088895
Location

The trust was formed by veterans of the Glider Pilot Regiment Association. Current projects of the trust are to convert a Dakota to its original parachute and glider tug function,[2] along with restoring or building an Airspeed Horsa, an American CG-4A Waco and a De Havilland Tiger Moth.[3]

In 2001, RAF Shawbury offered a home for the construction of the aircraft.[citation needed] BAE Systems found the original working drawings for a Horsa glider and allowed these to be used for the project under the condition that any aircraft produced would not be flown.[2]
