| - Abbott-Baynes Sailplanes Ltd. was a 1930s glider manufacturing company based at Wrecclesham, near Farnham, Surrey. It was founded as a subsidiary of E. D. Abbott Ltd in 1931 by L. E. Baynes and E. D. Abbott to build the Scud, a glider designed by Baynes in 1930, the prototype of which was built by at Croydon Airport. The Scud was popular, and in 1932 a development of it, the Scud II model was launched. In 1935, a Scud II flown by Mungo Buxton took the British Height Record for a glider to 8,750 ft (2,666 m). Also in 1935, the Scud 3 was rolled out, though only one was built. Sir John Carden requested a sailplane that could be launched unaided, and suggested a retractable engine. When fitted with such an engine, the glider was called the Auxiliary. Baynes later went into partnership with Carden as Carden-Baynes Aircraft Ltd of Heston Aerodrome, Middlesex to build the Carden-Baynes Auxiliary and the Carden-Baynes Bee. In 1935, Abbott-Baynes Sailplanes took part in the Flying Flea craze by launching the Baynes Cantilever Pou, which Baynes designed to address some of the aerodynamic problems of the original Mignet HM.14 Pou du Ciel. A series of fatal accidents led to restrictions on aircraft of this tandem wing type, ending the company's interest. A Scud II built in 1935 (ex-BGA 231/G-ALOT) is still airworthy, and is believed to be the oldest flying glider in the United Kingdom. In December 2009, it became part of the Shuttleworth Collection.

Модель Скад получилась популярной и в 1932 году было запущено производство модели Scud-2. В 1935 году Scud-2 под управлением Mungo Buxton поднял планку британского рекорда высоты для планёров до 2666 метров. Также в 1935 году было развернуто производство модели Scud-3. Один из важных заказчиков попросил установить убирающийся двигатель на эту модель для взлета без вспомогательных средств. Такая модификация Scud-3 называлась «Auxiliary». В 1935 году Бейнс обратил внимание на повальное увлечение «Блохой» Минье, выпустив Abbott Baynes Flea. Скад-2 произведенный в 1935 году на данный момент остается самым старым летающим планёром в Великобритании. (ru)
