I would like to say Thanks to the following individuals for kindly supplying photos of PW-5 Smyk gliders from their locality.  With Smyks spread all around the world I can only build up this photo database with your help !

Special thanks to Pawel Bondaryk - Poland for supplying many photos from the Leszno World Class competition 7.99 and to Roberto Yanez for photos from 2nd WAG Lillo, Spain.
