In Memory

I hope this page does not upset visitors to this web site.


It’s been suggested to me by earlier visitors that some of our friends who died during those early days of hang gliding, should be remember by all flyers and especially their families.


I’m also of the opinion that their deaths were not in vain, because we all leant from their mistakes and it helped make Hang Gliding the very safe sport it is today.
