ISSN 0951-5712contents regulars4 NOVEMBER 2017 The Greatest Free Flying Show on EarthTONY DEW, LONGTIME PARAGLIDER PILOTIf there’s one part of paragliding I can saywith confidence that I’m good at, it’s theforward launch. So it was disappointing aswell as embarrassing when, for the firsttime in several years, I screwed up on themain take-off at St Hilaire in front ofhundreds of spectators. ‘Stop,’ a marshallshouted, so I stopped. Big mistake. I knowmy wing would have flown me off, noproblem, if I’d kept going. I found myselfteetering right on the edge with my wingcollapsing. Looking down I saw a four footvertical drop to top of the slope below. Itwas jump or fall, so I jumped. Next secondI was tumbling arse over tit down theslope in a tangle of lines and wing.‘I’m absolutely fine,’ I told theparamedic, ‘I’m just angry with myselfand feel very stupid.’‘Don’t feel stupid,’ he said with a Gallic shrug,‘You are not hurt. It happens. Don’t try tomove, we’ll lower a rope to you.’‘OK’, I said, and stayed put. I looked downand I realised that not far below my feet thesteep slope turned into a vertical cliff. If Islipped off it would be an awful long waydown. I tried to ignore the beckoning abyssbelow. At last a friendly face appeared aboveand a climbing rope came snaking down. Hehauled and I clambered up to safety, to begreeted by an extremely embarrassinground of applause.The first time we went to St Hilaire, 20-oddyears ago, the show was much smaller thanit is now and the flying was a free-for-all. Weflew every day of the four-day festival,whenever and wherever we wanted.Beginners, experts, paragliders and hanggliders, fancy-dress fliers, even the newbreed of acro-pilots, all mixing it in the sameair. The areas in front of the take-offs werevery crowded and you had to keep your witsabout you. Some pilots had a peculiar idea ofthe rules of the air, flying straight at youand shouting, ‘Get out of my effing way,’ (inFrench). There were many near misses anda couple of times we had to sit out while thehelicopter plucked some poor misfortunateoff the mountainside. The highlight of the festival for manyspectators is the masquerade fly-down.Some pilots spend months planning theirperformances and I’ve seen all manner ofextraordinary fancy dress: pilots taking offdressed as birds, rockets, railway trains,policemen, insects, a giant penis, Christ onthe cross, tandem cyclists, dinosaurs, etc,etc, many trailing immensely long tails.The ingenuity, and the fact that thesecreations actually fly, is extraordinary. Onehighlight was a pilot dressed as apterodactyl with a huge long beak, trailingbeautiful fluttering ‘wings’ and taking offon long stilts, running elegantly throughthe air, then landing on his stilts (withoutfalling over) to be greeted by his youngson in a similar costume, running towardhim on short stilts. Wonderful.Outdoor festivals are best enjoyed when thesun shines, but the next time we went itwas dull and rainy. Vehicles got boggeddown and the deeply rutted paths and fieldsaround St Hilaire village became a filthy,slithery mess. We flew, but the organisershad introduced launch marshals andrestrictions on the free flying and we didn’tstay so long, heading off south in search ofbetter flying conditions and a less fraughtscramble at take-off.The third time I went alone. The festival hadgrown enormously, with vast marquees fullof swag and a lot more entertainment forthe crowds: demonstrations by hang andparaglider acrobats, wing suited daredevils,stunt aircraft and so on. None of these mixwell with ‘ordinary’ free flying, so morerestrictions had been introduced. Morelimited time slots, more marshals, more no-go areas, more barriers. To get a flight I hadto prepare early and queue, shuffling slowlyforward for ages, sweating, to get to thedesignated take-off. However, I recognisedthe need for tighter organisation when Iactually witnessed a fatal collision. I did fly,but decided that St Hilaire was a place toenjoy the show, not to fly. Except…On our next visit I flew in the masquerade.Assisted by wife Shirley and some friends, Itook off dressed as King Charles I of Englandriding a rocking horse (why is anotherstory). My ‘horse’ was bright red, black andwhite spotted material stitched over a framemade from plastic electric conduit, and Iwore a long purple wig. I made a good take-off, my flying horse performed perfectlyand it was marvellous to be a small partof such a great show on a glorious day.After a break of several years, thisSeptember Shirley and I revisited StHilaire. We drove down in our camper vanand found the excellent, and free,campsite. Friday is a free-flying day but bythe time we’d sorted ourselves out andgone up the mountain I was late getting tothe launch. Hurried and overconfident, Ibungled my take-off and the launch closedbefore I could sort myself out for anothergo. That’s how we missed the lastfunicular and the last bus down themountain and wound up in the dark withour thumbs stuck out.The next day, Saturday, we planned on goingup in the funicular and enjoying the festival.There’s so much to see and enjoy and Iwanted to buy some things, maybe even anew glider. But we enjoyed a rather tooleisurely breakfast, and when we saw themassively increased crowds and securitychecks with armed soldiers, we realised thatwe’d probably wind up spending much ofthe day queueing, which I hate. So wewalked back to our van, made ourselves apicnic and found a spot on the embankmentbeside the landing field in Lumbin.From there we had a great view of thelaunch - relayed by video to a giant screenopposite - as well as of the fancy-dress fliersfloating down and landing. All thoroughlyentertaining and a delightful atmosphere.After that we packed up the van and droveback to La Nublière, the best campsite in theworld, beside Lake Annecy, and I’d get tohave a ‘proper’ fly from Forclaz next daybefore we headed home. Eventually a smiling young Frenchman ina van stopped, I threw my glider in theback and we piled in. He eyed my wrinklesand grey beard and asked how long I’dbeen flying. ‘About 25 years,’ I told him,‘but that doesn’t mean I’m a good pilot.’ ‘Wehave saying in my country,’ he said, ‘If youare an old pilot, you are a good pilot.’ Iloved him for that.Even if you don’t much care for noise andcrowds (as I don’t), I would say the CoupeIcare festival, held at St Hilaire du Touvet inmid-September, is definitely worth going tojust for the experience. All the hang andparagliding manufacturers are there, andthere’s a huge market for new andsecondhand gliders, accessories and otherstuff. So much to see and do. But go earlyand allow plenty of time to take it all in. It isthe greatest free flying show on earth.‘Someone’s bound to stop soon,’ I said, trying to sound confident as despair set in. I was thinking a news headline:‘Elderly British couple freeze to death on French mountain.’ I was also thinking that if only I’d got up earlier, hadn’tbeen so rushed, hadn’t messed up my launch, Shirley wouldn’t have missed the last funicular and we’d be sittingin a warm and comfortable restaurant by now, enjoying a glass of wine. It’s foolish to beat yourself up aboutwhat’s done, but so it goes.call: 01404 Turfhouse, Luppitt, Honiton, Devon, EX14 4SA. Email: The Charly helmets range was created to suit all tastes and pockets. Full- andopen-face, they all have the EN966 rating for airborne sports, but not allhelmets offer the same level of protection. Every pilot makes a choice as to thesort of head protection they want, and it is a reasonable rule of thumb to saythat you tend to get what you pay The Charly Ace has a polycarbonateshell and comes in a choice of fourcolours (Gloss White, Matt Red, MattBlack and Carbon-look) and four sizes. Ikeep them all in stock. It weighs around560gm, and prices start at £84.The Charly Breeze has a swoopypolycarbonate shell, and comes in foursizes, as well as in two adjustable sizesfor commercial operators – schools andtandem.

It comes Black/grey in one size and only costs £7.55.Charly HelmetsSOLE UK DISTRIBUTOR: Simon Murphy’s Flying CircusSoperman 2 !Jeremy has had a relatively quiet month, but he did drop the bombshellthat his father has started hang gliding, too! A course in France seemsto have progressed at a remarkable rate, and Soperman 2 has alreadyhad some stunning flying. Being a hard-nosed businessman,I’m insisting that Jeremy’s intricatesponsorship contract also ties hisdad up to the Flying Circus – forlife! Hey look, it must be true -they’re both wearing the T-shirt!(Thinks: Wouldn’t the smart SMFC T-shirts and speedarms makeexcellent Christmas presents?)Here at Turfhouse, though, life goes on as usual, with all sorts ofequipment coming and going. One recent purchase will be a bargain for anew paraglider pilot – it’s a lovely medium-sized DHV 1 Firebird Z-One ingreat condition. The photo was taken just after it had scoredimpressively high figures on the porosimeter. It has years of life left.BIG NEWS! The £699 Charly DIAMONDCross is a lightweight steerable reservewithout the disadvantages of rogallodesigns. Mine arrived last week, andweighs a genuine 1.6kg.

I’ve evenbeen known to part withsome of my vintage hanggliders if I am convinced theyare going to a better home.The Flying Circus - a home forfreaks and super-heroes…A new electronic book on the emergence ofhang gliding is now available for downloadto iPad and Kindle tablets. Author MarkWoodhams, a founder member of the BHGAand the Southern Hang Gliding Club, hasgathered together a number of his articlesoriginally published in Wings! andSkywings, with other supporting texts, andassembled them into a coherent narrativeoutlining the birth of the sport and itsdevelopment from the very first days. Theoriginal inspiration for the earliestexperimental hang gliders came from NASAinvestigations in the late 1950s into aflexible-wing glider for returning mannedspace vehicles safely to Earth. The bookcatalogues the very first hang glider flightsand shows in detail how the glider designsevolved over the years. It also covers anoften-missed factor – just how rapidly thesport spread around the world and howpilots organised themselves into clubs andassociations to protect their right to fly. Thehistory of hang gliding is as much the storyof a movement as one of technicaldevelopment; this book is perhaps the firstto chronicle this magical development fromboth a local and global perspective, yet tobe completely on top of the technicalities.The book is in FXL format; each page isfixed in layout and typeface but double-tapping or pinch-squeezing can alter theviewed page size. The format allows videoclips and soundtrack to be embedded;amongst other clips readers will findfootage of a very early Dickenson Ski-Wingin flight, and the flight testing in 2013 of areplica 1963 Mk 1 Dickenson wing.

We need to keepimproving the service we have and fix anyflaws as we find them.’ Brett has long been known for hisinvolvement in the tracking world and hasworked wonders in developing competitiontracking. His ideas have revolutionised eventsincluding his own Gin Wide Open andFlyFurther XC and the Naviter Open. AsFlyEvent, Brett has been renting Flymastertrackers to events worldwide for several yearsand now has over 500 units available. He alsohosts and project-engineers many smallerprojects. His plans for Airtribune include: • Expanding the device types accepted• Allowing personal use, not just for events• Exporting features to link to SeeYouscoring software• New functions for event organisersincluding an easier-to-use status interface• New ways to deliver results to pilotsthrough iOS and Android apps• A new leaderboard integrating leadoutpoints to see a task’s true leader• Exploring hike-and-fly paragliding• Upgrading the 3D viewer• Direct integration with Paypal for eventorganisers.‘We are already relocating the hosting to anew server,’ says Brett. ‘Any minordisruption will be of short duration. Thenew servers are expected to provide evenbetter reliability and improved power.Airtribune is now able to supply reliableand easy-to-use Flymaster 360 trackers insets of 20 - 150, ready to use. Costs vary butyou can expect to pay around 15 euro pertracker per week, inclusive of all data.Currently we are offering 30% off rentalsand half-price access to the trackingservice.’ [Photo by Jenny Thompson]Green Dragons take over Wills WIngimportershipThe UK importership for Wills Wing hang gliders, previously run by Airways Airsports,has been taken over by Green Dragons. ‘To start with we aim to have one glider a monthon order, says GD boss Andy Shaw, ‘which will assist with bringing in urgent spareparts. We already have a huge stock of Wills Wing uprights and second-hand gliders. Ifyou fly a Wills Wing glider, please let us know so we can add you to the UK Wills Wingteam to receive invites to WW events and the WW UK newsletter. We are also activelylooking to sponsor pilots.’ Judy Leden and Chris Dawes at Airways say they will continueto be an active backup for the brand.

Tom hasworked hard for the BHPA, and more recently for the GAAlliance too, to protect our freedom to fly. The BHPA and GAAlliance roles had broadly similar aims and yet, in the face ofmounting pressures on airspace on all sides, staying on top ofthe escalating requirements to identify and collate responses tothe latest proposals, and to notify those affected by the latestencroachments, was turning into the Labours of Hercules. Belowthe visible tip of the iceberg – FSC Airspace Panel, UK AirproxBoard Liaison, overseeing flying site mapping and MoD liaison –Tom was a member of innumerable committees where a BHPApresence was necessary. Back in the early 1990s he was one ofthe architects of the smooth and equitable amalgamation ofthe BAPC and BHGA. ‘I’ve enjoyed working with all of you onmany different things and have some really good memories,’he says, ‘but now is the time to move on.’ BHPA Tech OfficerMark Shaw has been put forward to take on a number ofTom’s roles, but the void left by his absence will be vast.Tom will remain as BHPA representative on a few short-termprojects where an end-date is in sight: Exeter airspaceproposals, a review of FL100+ airspace and the helicopterwake-turbulence study. If anyone has the relevant skills ineven a few of the areas Tom was responsible for, and iswilling to help, please contact FSC Chairman AngusPinkerton at Meanwhile, thanksTom. You’ll need a new hobby to take up all the time you’llhave on your hands!Kendal Mountain FestivalThe Kendal Mountain Festival kicks off on the evening of Thursday November 16thwith a supercharged Ozone Free Flight Session, embracing the entire gamut ofparagliding, BASE, speed riding, acro and more.

As long as the wind is roughly fromthe west, or at a pinch south, and it’s launchable wehave an event. If the weather improves we have evenmore fun. After a wet and windy northern summer, thisyear’s forecast was bordering on the encouraging;moderate westerly winds and dry to boot.For the contestants it looked promising enough: clear blue skiesand no wind. But the low cloud hugging the fells, that shouldhave evaporated in the summer sunshine, didn’t. Instead itclung doggedly to the surrounding fells; the lake was windblownand the Showground distinctly uninviting.Richard Sewell of the Cayley Club had gallantly volunteered for theweather-girl routine to provide the breakfast TV broadcast from thelaunch. His report confirmed what everyone was thinking: ‘Betterdown ‘ere than oop there swathed in cloud and drizzle.’ Richard’sfrom Yorkshire; he’ll have forgotten by next year.Despite the weather the full complement of pilots gathered atthe appointed time. All 30 of the complimentary wristbandswere issued, plus some posh badges for the VIPs, and sign-to-flysheets completed. The organiser stood on the same compostheap he has stood on for the past 13 years and delivered thesame timeworn brief, adjusted to accommodate the aviationparanoia of the post-Shoreham age. No overflying theShowground, no stunts, be nice, have fun. Pilots will be familiar with the tried and tested format of thiscompetition. Pilots can have as many attempts as they can bebothered walking 1,000ft up the fellside. Landings must be ‘clean’– under control, on your feet and within the limits of the stretchof quite a long measuring tape. Dangerous or inconsiderateflying will lead to disqualification, as will undue seriousness.There is an inter-club element, open to all members ofCumbria (reigning champions), Northern, Cayley and Dalesclubs (or three or more pilots from any BHPA-recognisedclub). There was a worrying moment when it was discoveredthat some pilots, taking part for the first time, had dualcitizenship and might be capable of forming a southern teamto challenge Cumbrian supremacy. The trophy had alreadybeen inscribed! Rules were scrutinised, lawyers consulted(yes, really) and the challenge quashed. As we all know, paragliding is all about going up, not down.To separate this event from a conventional accuracycompetition (which no local pilots would turn up to),recognition and an additional prize are given to the pilotachieving the greatest altitude.After the briefing, the group expressed their gratitude forRichard’s soggy vigil and dispersed to various dry, warm spots fora cheering hot coffee or breakfast. Running this competitionalongside the the world-renowned Grasmere Sports and Showmeans there’s no shortage of activities and sights to fill a coupleof damp hours of parawaiting: Hound Trailing, CumberlandWrestling (male and female), stuff to buy, eat or drink.By late morning the cloud showed signs of breaking and theparoptimists headed up the track to Alcock Tarn (pictured). Ianand Heather Henderson activated the landing zone and it wasall systems … wait. Tricky wind conditions on the soggy fellsidewere not conducive to launching. Andrew Clegg was first tocrack, seizing a fleeting opportunity to take off and set coursefor the landing field.Andrew landed successfully in Cumbria, only a short walk fromthe target; much shorter than some later pilots and closeenough to put him in the medals. Even as he packed up he wascursing his impetuousness and considering walking back up asconditions at launch were rapidly improving.The CSC Accuracy EventNext >
