Ah, memories of my first flights on a standard Bennett. We were on our own. Don't fly higher than willing to fall ( ! )

Lovely. I well remember Wasp gliders, my first was a Hiway!

looks like my kids little kite.

I've fond memories of the Haynes brothers who supplied me with my first hang glider (229B3)and I sold Wasp hang gliders for them in those days. Was in contact with Robin a few years ago but lost touch again. I'm the one in the video with the orange flying suit on board the red and blue Wasp C4. Still flying - running a paragliding school in my spare time and getting the occasional hang glider flight (on modern machinery)!

Glad I found this. I haven't seen so many standards in one video. Nice to see the prone pilot.

Nice to see all the Wasp logos ;-) My dad, uncles and grandfather were the guys behind Waspair. As a child I spent more time sitting around on windy hills than I did at school ...

Nice to see a rare video of the early days ;-) The unmistakeable flapping sails of the small A frame Wasp 2B's still rings in my ears!

Even though it says Robin Youngs Hill it was actually Agnews Hill which is not far from Larne.
