Bravo Delta 1/75 Horsa Glider (164) The use of assault gliders by the British was prompted by the use by Germany of the
DFS 230, which was first used in May 1940 to successfully assault the Eben Emael fort in
Belgium. Their advantage compared to parachute assault was that the troops were landed
together in one place, rather than being dispersed.With around 28 troop seats, the Horsa
was much bigger than the 13-troop American Waco CG-4A (known as the Hadrian by the
British), and the 8-troop General Aircraft Hotspur glider which was intended for training
duties only. As well as troops, the AS.51 could carry a jeep or a 6 pounder anti tank
gun.The AS.58 or Horsa II had a hinged nose section, reinforced floor and double nose
wheels to support the extra weight of vehicles. The tow was attached to the nose-wheel
strut, rather than the dual wing points of the Horsa I.
Wingspan 32.6cm, length approx 27.5 cm
