THE GENERAL AIRCRAFT HOTSPUR

The General Aircraft

GAL.48 Hotspur

Was a military glider

Commissioned at the behest

Of the then Prime Minister

Winston Churchill

In order to transport

Airborne assault troops into battle

The Hotspur was the result

But its tactical limitations

Meant it was only used for training
