It's Tail Tuesday! Intrigued as to what this particular one is attached? The article at the link from the July, 2021 issue has lots more text and pictures. | 🛩️ 📡 | 🔗 intellog.com/projects/new...
The tail feathers and some of the fuselage of a glider. The structured is painted red with the exception of the rudder and elevator control surfaces which are covered in beige-white, translucent material which reveals the wooden frame construction. A Union Jack has been painted on the vertical stabiliser. In the background is a grey, overcast sky.

Winglet Wednesday (📸 Akaflieg Karlsruhe) | 🛩️ 📡
An image of a flying wing glider over a city. The aircraft is entirely white with a black-tinted canopy. The photograph is being taken by another glider, the wing of which can be seen in the photograph and at the end of which is a winglet. The subject aircraft has an unusual semi-circular wing planform with winglets on the ends of each very narrow wing.

Tail Tuesday (📸 Kevin Newton) | 🛩️ 📡
The slim, delicate-looking tail of a glider set against a partially cloudy sky. The primary colour is white with a Swiss flag painted on the vertical stabiliser along with the number "600". A small tailwheel can be seen at the base of the vertical stabiliser and rudder.
