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.

Dutch pair!

Some years ago, I got myself a Mk III Stunter in the 'historical' Dutch colours: orange-white-blue. As we're often flying kites as a pair, my thoughts went to pairing it up with a similar Mk III, but with the 'modern' Dutch colours, red-white-blue. As I said at the end of that earlier blog post: any excuse to add to the collection ...

Thoughts became reality and here's another 'Dutch' Mk III, on the ground and flying.



As the whole idea was to have a 'Dutch' pair of PP Stunters, here's the pair sitting on the ground and flying together.



The kites are named 'ranje-blanje-bleu' and 'rood-wit-blauw'; guess you can figure out what that means even if you don't speak Dutch. I do need to find some suitable Dutch language music to fly them to ...
