Britain's only full-size, complete Airspeed Horsa left RAF Cosford on 19 June heading for a new, permanent home at the Oorlogsmuseum at Overloon, 37 miles south of Arnhem, the Netherlands. The reproduction was built by volunteers from the Assault Glider Trust at RAF Shawbury, Shropshire, between 2001-14, using original drawings and a large number of surviving Horsa parts. In March 2014 it was moved to nearby Cosford, where many Horsas were assembled and tested after subsections had been shipped in from various sub-contractors in the Midlands during the war.
