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.

Xmas kite

As mentioned in my previous post, screen-printing has come to Peter Powell. To mark this change, a set of five special xmas kites was created, one of which (the 'Xmas tree') was customised for the 2022 PPKOG kite.

Getting all four others was a bit too much for me, but I did want another one from the collection. Although a 'Santa' kite stacked behind a number of 'Reindeer' kites would have been fun, I decided on the 'Stag' as that one would sort of match the special PPKOG kite when flown together.


Note that it also has a multi-coloured tail ...


Of course, we had to fly the 'Xmas stag' PP together with the PPKOG 2022 kite.




Flying both kites with (different) multi-coloured tails really adds to the spectacle, especially when flying them into multiple wraps.
