Slingsby T.59 Kestrel 17 667: A Vintage Aerobatics Icon This photograph showcases the Slingsby T.59 Kestrel 17 667, a licence-built and developed version of the Glasglugel 401, in its element during an aerial display. Circa 1982, this vintage aircraft, with its distinctive red, white, and blue colour scheme, soars through the clear blue sky, leaving a trail of vapour in its wake. The Slingsby Kestrel, a popular choice among aviation enthusiasts and aerobatics pilots, was a British-built two-seat, high-performance, aerobatic biplane. Its origins can be traced back to the Glasglugel 401, a German design that Slingsby acquired the rights to produce under licence. The Kestrel was renowned for its agility, manoeuvrability, and robustness, making it an ideal platform for advanced pilot training and competitive aerobatics. The image captures the Kestrel in mid-flight, its wings slicing through the air with precision and grace. The cockpit is visible, with the pilot focused intently on the task at hand, while the second seat remains empty, inviting the imagination to envision the thrill of soaring alongside. The backdrop of a clear, cloudless sky adds to the sense of freedom and exhilaration, making this photograph a true testament to the enduring allure of aviation and the indomitable spirit of flight.
