I would like to extend an invitation to the local free flight community to join me at the “Barron’s Last Friday of the month get together” to have look back at 50 years of hang gliding history.

I’ve dragged out the photo albums, all my log books, sifted through all the “entries, dates and data” and hopefully… (if your lucky?) ….I have managed to render it all down so that I can present my version of a “brief history of time”.

From aluminum tubes and black plastic to Carbon fibre and Technora cloth, How it all started… and yes, where it may be heading. I also hope to share some insight into the “Luck” and “Learning” that kept me an active participant for all these years.

 

Cheers!

A brief history of time

Allow me to introduce myself, My name is Martin Henry, I’m one of the founding members of the WCSC, long time advocate for free flight in Canada and an active hang glider pilot for 50 years…. Oh …and a surprising number of years as paraglider pilot!
