Thanks for dropping by our new blog site. Our goals are to develop this site and the main Microlight Wings web site into the ultimate microlight/ultralight emporium of online news, reviews, interviews and most importantly purposefully developed training material and software for the venturesome microlight enthusiast.
Don't forget to visit the main site as well at

Yeah, these older a/c are still good. This is a Pegusus 462 (G-MVTA). There was a strong cross-wind element on the day that made the landing interesting. Standard glide approach from 1000ft with a microlight circuit.
Thanks for your comment! I was doing the filming and the pilot up front is a friend who owns the microlight. It was my first time up, a bit scary at first but great fun! I hope he’ll take me up again next summer!
Having flown light aircraft at Rochester Airport for several years, I really enjoyed watching this video. Well done to the pilot (and camera man). I have only flown once in a a microlight – a Thruster – from Popham and I thoroughly enjoyed the flight.
