NHGC member Greg Thompson launches during the first UK national tow meet at Little Snoring Norfolk. An early example of frame towing using a payout winch. Baker Brothers. 1979?
It's hard to see but it looks like its actually a bridle that connects one line to the frame and two lines to the harness. That's what I was towing with about 4 or 5 years after this video.
Thanks for the comment but defiantly not. The top leg went to the heart bolt area
and the bottom leg went to the middle of a (modified) A frame base bar.
The bridle design with a bottom leg attached to the pilot came a bit later '(81).
I can say this with some confidence because I invented it! (:
