Hang-glider at sunset

[Trackside]

Out walking the dog this evening when this chap turned up. Seemed a good excuse to take pictures of something other than racing cars!

Hmm, that looks like a lot of fun providing you don't run out of fuel and what fuel you carry stays in the container until it is consumed.

Great way to commute to work ...

Where was this? I saw a similar contraption flying over the A31 yesterday afternoon...

[pedant]Hang-gliders are the rigid triangular ones with an A-frame beneath. This would be a powered paraglider[/pedant]

Bloomin' noisy though (and not in a good way), and slow with it.

In Hanslope where I live, between Milton Keynes and Northampton. And yes, it probably is called a paraglider but I couldn't remember what it was when I put the post up! So hang-glider it is...
