The Assault Glider Trust is a registered charity[1] established in 2001 and based at RAF Shawbury in Shropshire.
The trust was formed by veterans of the Glider Pilot Regiment Association. Current project of the trust are: is to convert a Dakota to its original parachute and glider tug function,[2] along with restoring or building an Airspeed Horsa, an American CG-4A Waco and a De Havilland Tiger Moth.[3]
In 2001, RAF Shawbury offered a home for the construction of the aircraft. BAE Systems found the original working drawings for a Horsa glider and allowed these to be used for the project under the condition that any aircraft produced would not be flown.[2]
