Dublin Glider Club?

[phaethon]

Hi all,

Picked up these odd wings locally and I am wondering would any of you have seen these before? Can they be 1950-80s Dublin Glider Club but no information available.

Thanks!

A bit of history :

The first Dublin Gliding Club was formed in 1934 and operated successfully near the site that later became Dublin Airport, but it seemed to fade away after 1936. A second Dublin Gliding Club appeared briefly in 1949 but never succeeded in commencing flying operations.


The third incarnation traces its origins to a letter written by Charles O’Connor to the Dublin Evening Mail in January 1952. A meeting of interested parties held two months later led to the formation of today’s Dublin Gliding Club.
