Hi Rich, gawd that takes me back, what a hoot. Fantastic sound track, captures the whazzockness of the time, amazing we all survived. Epic, I'll buy the negatives.

This is a brilliant film...

It makes hangliding look as easy as paragliding and the hangliders look quite forgiving.

The dude singing is a hoot I love the lyrics.

Great Film.

Brilliant! 1981 was the year I looked at hang gliding (Reading Uni) and had some serious misgivings with the designs and even moreso the 'training'.............24 years passed.........
