Abbott-Baynes Sailplanes Ltd. was a 1930s glider manufacturing company based at Wrecclesham , near Farnham, Surrey. It was founded as a subsidiary of E. D. Abbott Ltd in 1931 by L. E. Baynes and E. D. Abbott to build the Scud , a glider designed by Baynes in 1930, the prototype of which was built by Brant Aircraft Limited at Croydon Airport . The Scud was popular, and in 1932 a development of it, the Scud II model was launched. In 1935, a Scud II flown by Mungo Buxton took the British Height Record for a glider to 8,750 ft (2,666 m ).[1]
Also in 1935, the Scud 3 was rolled out, though only one was built. Sir John Carden requested a sailplane that could be launched unaided, and suggested a retractable engine. When fitted with such an engine, the glider was called the Auxiliary . Baynes later went into partnership with Carden as Carden-Baynes Aircraft Ltd of Heston Aerodrome , Middlesex to build the Carden-Baynes Auxiliary and the Carden-Baynes Bee .[1]
In 1935, Abbott-Baynes Sailplanes took part in the Flying Flea craze by launching the Baynes Cantilever Pou , which Baynes designed to address some of the aerodynamic problems of the original Mignet HM.14 Pou du Ciel . A series of fatal accidents led to restrictions on aircraft of this tandem wing type, ending the company's interest.[1] [2]
A Scud II built in 1935 (ex-BGA 231/G-ALOT ) is still airworthy, and is believed to be the oldest flying glider in the United Kingdom .[citation needed In December 2009, it became part of the Shuttleworth Collection .[3]
