de Havilland Australia DHA-G2

The de Havilland Australia DHA-G2 was a Second World War Australian transport glider based on the earlier prototype DHA-G1.

The aircraft's undercarriage used a single mainwheel behind a long nose skid, and a wooden tailskid.

[2][6] The G2 was of similar layout to the G1, but had a slightly larger fuselage and a shorter span wing that could be broken into three parts to aid transportation.

[2] The first G2, serial number A57-1, was modified in 1948 by the Government Aircraft Factory for trials of a suction airfoil, the modifications included the fitting of a 96 hp (72 kW) Mercury 95A engine.
