Hang Gliding BVI 1984
Bill Flying Ft Charlotte, BVI
I was agent for Wills Wing in the Virgin Islands and asked them to build a 200 Duck. This thing was a beast and very difficult to handle, as you may see. Once when I flew into some rain it became dangerously divergent, so the airflow was very laminar!
My friend Dongo (thnx for this film) who was much lighter than me flew it and it was..erm.. character building.
Beautiful looking glider tho.

Caribbean Hang Gliding 1987 - in the British Virgin Islands
zhlédnutí 791Před 6 lety
This is a professionally made video I commissioned when I lived for 20 years in the BVI and shows us hang gliding on Tortola in the British Virgin Islands in 1987. We were the first to fly there, with a core group of around 6 of us pioneering take off and soaring sites over a period of 10 years. The film was made over a 4 week period showing 4 or 5 different flights. You will see: Bill Bullimor...

    • @beebee766
      @beebee766 Před 2 lety

      haha, I see your point. Clanger noise is vertical speed indicator, or in gliding parlance, an audible variometer. Descending air = continous tone,a deeper note for heavier sink. Intermittent tone = rising air, with higher pitch meaning stronger lift = happy pilot.

    The dumbest layout in existence. Nobody needs this many lounges with tables. Manufacturer had to offset weight I am guessing so they just put seating everywhere. It looks like its for 6+ people.

  • @bethells86

    Lets get the story straight, I am pretty sure you are talking about the people who took the Prout name after Prouts UK closed up shop in late 90s. Someone took the name and started manufacturing in China I think, but this Prout has absolutely nothing to do with the original English Prouts. I have known Prouts UK since the late 80s and their boats, while a little slow were the 1st decent cruising cats. They have been sailing the globe since the 60s. email me if you want to know more.
