Intro to Hang Gliding by Tim Swait from Avian - BANDARRA

I had the opportunity to come to a talk by Tim Swait, the new owner of Avian hang gliders, currently the only hang glider manufacturer in the UK.

Tim goes through his background and how he got here, as well as the twist and turns of hang gliding. From humble beginnings at the start of the manned aviation history, all the way to high performance flying machines of the present day.

I found the talk super interesting and learned a thing or to so I hope you enjoy it too.
