It would be great to hear from Mark of his memories of those early days of devlopment.

Hi Hairy!
It is hard to take your question seriously. Is it possible you are so slow that you didn't read the comments below or can't search Google to find plenty of places to which you can direct your search? If you are serious then I apologize. We will all know very shortly how serious you are by your response to this post.
This sport demands more thought than you have thus far demonstrated. Are you really up for such a serious test?

And why would you want to build one anyway? The only reason I can think of is if you really don't have an interest in flying but instead just like to build. You won't save money, you won't build anything that inspires your confidence when you see what actually is flown at places where people actually fly, you will not likely achieve any level of success as you might imagine in your fantasy. No one offers plans for anything you would fly.

You should post that question on both the yahoo Hang Glide List and the OZ Report Forum. You will be pleased with the level of energy in the many replies your question should generate!

Nice to see someone pay tribute to John Dickenson without being rude to everyone else.
Im thinking of G.H.

Graeme doesn't suffer fools easily and some who have disputed this story certainly qualify as dishonest.

Bill Moyes told me the same thing about John Dickensen back in 1980. I'm glad to know there's an historian of the sport!

That is interesting to hear. Could you describe in a bit more detail how this conversation came about and and give a bit more detail of what Moyes said? I love hearing those historic bits!
