Errrrmmm... Google? I just put the words "Keil Kraft Dolphin Glider" into Google images and this was one of the results. I reckon with a bit of effort it would even be possible to find one for sale, probably on Ebay or a website belonging to a dealer of obscure and out of production stuff. The whole world is out there and most of it is available online, so I wouldn't be at all surprised. In fact that image has a small watermark logo which is actually Ebay's mark which they add to all images uploaded to the auction website, so the one pictured was in fact for sale on Ebay at some point, but I don't know when. Ah, a quick search brings up a set of free plans ready to download. I'm sure you can get hold of some balsa wood, tissue paper and dope: Keil Kraft Dolphin Glider PlansNow you can have your very own Dolphin Glider! |

Hello mareliz1412 - Sorry about your dad. The last time I spoke to him was when I was visiting Kly., and I called in to the milk bar to say 'hello' Its a long time ago, I think you were just about to start work and he said you hoped to train as a med., sec., which he knew was my job! That was the last time I saw him. I vaguely remember some of the names you mention, but Doreen and Joan worked there in the early 1950's - 60's Hazel started in the mid 50's. They were great days in which to be young and I have many happy memories of my teenage years in Keighley.
