Wow!

Quote: "After alteration by the Government Aircraft Factory, the glider was fitted with a 96hp Mercury 59A engine for testing as a Glas II Suction Wing Glider."

The outline drawing of the Glas II Suction Wing Glider doesn't show anything like a propellor, presumably the Aircraft was still a Glider, so what was the Ford V8 required for? Something about the "Suction Wing"?
