Hang Gliding on Wideford Hill summer 1976.The club disbanded after I had an accident,crashing and extracting 13 teeth with the control bar. The hang glider was for many years in the hanger at Kirkwall airport complete with bend and teeth marks! It was collected in july 2005 by someone from the British Hang Glider Museum in Bristol .He was amazed in what good condition it was in
