KITES & KITE FLYING PART 16

MORE KITE PICTURES







Another of my Sutton Flowforms complete with banner.












My 7mt. Octopus. I constructed this kite using balloon Ripstop Nylon for the main body and loom state Ripstop for the tentacles, when in the air, it gives the impression it's swimming.












Here I am at the riverside playing fields in the village of Stotfold, Bedfordshire. I spent many a happy day here flying as a young boy.









Two of my Circaflex Kites above the houses of Hove, each year the week before the Kite Festival we fly on the lawns at Hove and give out invitations to people walking along the promenade.










Some people think we are all mad, ( it does help ) out flying kites when the snow and frost is on the ground. As these three pictures testify, as long as the wind blows and it's not raining cats and dogs you can........










......always depend on the Brighton Kite Flyers Club members, to be at the Devils Dyke for the New Years Day Fly-in January 2002. Despite the coldness of the day we had a very good turn out.







In fact possibly due to the fact that our Teddy could be seen for miles around, the car parks and roads leading to the Dyke were completely overwhelmed with cars, not a parking space to be found anywhere.

On behalf of the club I would like to say a big thank you to ALL who attended on the day for their support. ( pictures of bear taken by Simon Hennessey.)
