I've been enjoying flying the Gladiator these last few weeks and thought I would share a few shots with you. It's a good price and has remarkable STOL capabilities together with a good turn of speed around 200knots.

I've also made a virtual tour panorama so you can inspect it from the inside too:

Gloster Gladiator Panorama



















I'm sure that there must be others of you out there who would enjoy this one too. winkyy.gif

The version I have, by Icarus, is much the same. Checked out your site - great work.

Looks Great cool.gif , 'R' N5519 - I'm sure that was one of the three Gladiators that become legend "Faith , Hope and Charity" in the early siege of Malta , very sure they were also Sea Gladiators.

I believe you're right Ian. That's one of the reasons I picked Malta for the panorama. biggrin.gif

I do believe there were really four aircraft, but one was used as spares or used to keep name and more propaganda , was only a short period the Gladiator was used , this was were the Americans using the USS Wasp helped out and other famous mission , Operation Pedastal .

Francois has redesigned his site and so the Gladiator is not showing in the store at present but he says that older models should be added over the next week or two. He is trying to transfer the forum contents to the new site and that seems to be taking some time.

Just notice I can't spell, and instead of writing "Gloster", I wrote "Glouster" so will need to correct that and then change the links.
