The EoN Type 7 Primary was a training glider built in the UK shortly after World War II. It was an absolutely minimalist aircraft, consisting of a high, cable-braced wing connected to a conventional empennage by an open-truss framework, and was a copy of the Schneider SG-38 Schulgleiter. Marketed to aeroclubs, the Primary EoN was also adopted in 1948 by the Air Training Corps and by the Combined Cadet Force under the name Eton TX.1. This example passed to the Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum April 1997. To John Gilbert, Great Oakley, Essex circa April 2022 and stored.
