Parascending - UK National Championships - 1976

Held at what was then RAF Watchfield (although it might have been taken over by the Army by then).
1976 was a remarkable year weather-wise, superb for parascending.
Here is some potentially unique footage of ascending flexible wings, the forerunners of what today will keep you in the air for hours riding the thermals.
If you would like to use the footage, please get in touch: info at cardinalbroadcast.com.
Super 8 original film, captured and restored. It looks superb doesn't it?
Enjoy.

What a time, ram airs coming in to take over from the PCs, lovely summers, skinny people, Andy Cowley, Tom Beardsley, home made wings, landrover tows, tensios - a time of innocence. Miss it.

They were good times. How can be 40 plus years ago?
