The two aircraft were both designed by L. E. Baynes and had many common features but the Scud 2 has a wing of much higher aspect ratio, intended for serious rather than introductory soaring.

The wing is supported by two parallel pairs of thin lift struts from the mid-fuselage longerons to centre section mounting points.

The tail unit is similar to that of the Scud 1 with three identical and interchangeable surfaces acting as all-moving elevators and rudder.

[1] Photographs and general arrangement drawings from 1932 show early aircraft had narrow chord ailerons extending over the outer half-span and maintaining the straight wing trailing edge.

[1] One Scud 2 went to the Orkney Islands and was on display in the gliding club club-house after World War II.

[6] After a long career at Dunstable[1] this aircraft, the oldest glider on the BGA register,[7] became part of the Shuttleworth Collection in December 2009.
