jonesy1275 Posted April 25, 2016 Share #1 Posted April 25, 2016 Arriving in the UK last month is this lovely 1944 Clark CA-1. Designed to be flown into austere locations by either glider or C-47, airborne engineers would construct rough airstrips with it. Only 2600 were manufactured so I feel privileged to now own one.

Brian Keith Posted April 25, 2016 Share #4 Posted April 25, 2016 Very cool! Are you going to build an airstrip? BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72psb Posted April 25, 2016 Share #5 Posted April 25, 2016 You need a HBT short brim and a tank top T with a cigar clinched in your teeth to work that beautiful machine properly.Don't forget to sling a carbine over you shoulder, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gliderman1 Posted April 25, 2016 Share #7 Posted April 25, 2016 Jonesy, That bugger is defective! The blade is full of dents. You'd better send it back over here to my attention! CDay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zsmith Posted June 6, 2016 Share #9 Posted June 6, 2016 I didn't fully grasp how small it was until I got to the pic of you sitting on it. It's a lil' baby dozer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glider-borne Posted June 13, 2016 Share #10 Posted June 13, 2016 :love: Sooo nice !!! And in a better condition than one of our project .... Did you come with the dozer in Normandy next year ? We start to think to make a "glider" camp, in fields for the 2017 or 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We start to think to make a "glider" camp, in fields for the 2017 or 2018. No, I only took the jeep this year. Keep me informed if you decide on a glider camp. I'd be very interested especially if you had a CG-4A mock up. Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesy1275 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share #14 Posted June 14, 2016 I was watching that one. I think it went for a really cheap price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
