A blog detailing our collection of Peter Powell kites, and chronicling our flying of these kites. Plus a bit of PP kite history thrown in. Our collection to date stands at 77 kites and can be seen here. I am keen to expand the collection, so if you have an old Peter Powell kite, whether made in the UK or the US, gathering dust and looking for a new home, why not get in touch? Depending on the kite (does it bring something new or different to my collection?), its condition (is it flyable? how much TLC does it need?), and the price you ask (+ shipping if from outside the UK), we may well be able to do a deal.

Pair of 'chevron' PPs

A colour scheme which was quite common in US-produced Peter Powell Stunters was the 'chevron' scheme. As far as I'm aware, PPs with this colour scheme were never produced in the UK, and, obviously, I had to get one for the collection.

Turned out I didn't get one; I got two!

One with a blue-yellow-red sail:










And one with a pink-yellow-black sail:










Being Flying Fish, of course we had to fly them as a pair.


They flew well together, even though the wind was on the light side for them.


Nice to be able to add them to the collection; it was suffering a bit from a chevron-shaped hole ...
