These are three of my plush gliders ranging from the scholastic glider to the large one that was made in the 1970's by an Aussie plush toy maufacturer who sadly went out of business with the chinese imports in the same decade. I bought it new with tags from someone who had bought and stored a collection of them in their spare room for the past 30 years.
This is one of the plushies working hard in a TV studio.
The jib operator loved it so much, I bought him one so now he permanently has a glider "working" for him. He uses it as a guide for the bottom of the jib when he is "gliding" the jib across an audience.
One of three terracotta aboriginal gliders I have (okay so they aren't plush)
and one of my latest....glider on a rope(again not plush though)
