If I could find a very cheap or free Glider then maybe! But it would be difficult to squeeze in crash protection suitable for road use.
One of the more expensive parts of a glider, and one of the most easily damaged is the canopy so I doubt I would be able to pick one up cheap, flat panels and single curves however are relatively easy so that would probably be the way to go  :)
Of course if you have an old jet canopy, erm cloche, lying around that you don't want  ;)

What I need to get now is a quote/best guess for supplying and bending up the main frame tubes,then we find out if it's financially do-able...

Dunno what your interpretation of the difference is!
To a new to us house closer to swmbo's work if it all pans out...

All the best, I trust workshop arrangements have been sussed! ;)

Hmmm, well if we get my first choice it will be the same or better (ie very good!) but if we get my second choice then the workshop will revert to a conventional single garage  :(
Still not bad mind you, just not as nice... of course we've got to get ours on the market and agree a sale first so there's time yet for all the plans to change  ::), pain in the bahookie* this house stuff!

*lets see the bad language filter spot that one  :D
