The Slingsby T.43 Skylark 3 was a single seat Open Class sailplane developed from the Skylark 2 with an extended wingspan. It gained first place at the 1960 World Gliding Championships.

I am drawing up plans for a Slingsby Skylark 3 at 1/4. The one in particular I am interested in is in Martin Simons book Slingsby Sailplanes.1
