Summary

The Gliding Club of South Australia's nacelled primary glider just taking off (tow line still attached) at Larkin aerodrome, Pooraka. [From a researcher: In a 'nacelled primary' the pilot sits in a rudimentary enclosure, the enclosure being described as a nacelle. These enclosures did not have a canopy and the pilot's head was in the open. It was believed that the feel of the wind on the pilot's face helped him judge the correct speed at which to fly the glider.'].
