Image description

During World War II Austin Motors Ltd., Longbridge Works, Birmingham built 200 Airspeed Horsa Mk.I (AS.51) assault gliders. The photo here is of the HG742, one of 35 produced and delivered between September and December 1942. The design was initially for paratroops to jump from doors on either side of the fuselage with landing as a secondary role, instead it was decided to have the glider land troops.
