The Golden Age of Ultralights

[Head in the clouds]

Recently there was a call for retro video footage of ultralights as they were back in 'them thar auld days'. Ozzie posted some good stuff but overall we didn't find much.

 

Here are two videos with some great footage from the 1970s and 1980s. Anyone else that finds something might like to post it here?

 

Enjoy -

Ps- not much room in some of those for a ERSA.

Not a video, but a rare shot taken from a Scout in the 80s.

 

Think it was Peel island, 7x Scouts and Dick Sweetapples' tinne.

Another copy of the image above that seems to be a bit distorted. This was published in the old MAFA Contact magazine. marked as Fraser Island.
