The Short Nimbus was a British two-seat glider trainer designed in 1947 by members of the Short Brothers design office who had recently formed the Rochester Gliding Club. The company supported this venture by providing drawing-office and workshop facilities free of charge assigning to the Nimbus one of its constructor's numbers (S.1312). The glider was registered with the British Gliding Association and given the serial number BGA470.
