History
G.W. Cain of 16 Stapleton Hall Road, London N.4, entered a 'bicycle' glider for the Itford Gliding Competition 1922 as entry No.3. It arrived but did not fly.
Of note is the fact that 16 Stapleton Hall Road, London N.4, was, at that time, the address of Albert Samuel Inkpin, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain, so Cain was presumably a boarder.
