The only way was down in those days 😲. Praise for the developers who realised modern wings and the pioneers who flew these ancient designs.

I guess its almost impossible to remove all the rubbish and plastic waste that'll end up in the sea soon, sad to see relics of the past all long forgotten. 😔

Looking at the wings it must have been somewhere around end of the 70' beginning of the 80'. Glide angle 1:brick !

Little is the right word. More convenient. Funny how it can open for Ventnor fringe festival this weekend and for the grockles on summer holidays. Then close again. What about us islanders who rely on it and pay taxes towards island roads upkeep.

Vids like this, a bit of history in the comments would probably help. "Little Jane, (more fully, Jane Squibb), lived with her parents in a cottage on track, which is now (2019), the Public Bridleway off The Mall, Brading. She is remembered for being commemorated in 'The Annals of the Poor' by the Rev. Leigh Richmond, curate of Brading church between 1797 to 1805. Jane used to visit his Sunday School classes at St Mary's church, Brading. She died of tuberculosis, aged 15, on 30 January 1799 and is buried in St Mary's churchyard. The cottage is grade 2 listed. "

I remember many holidays and great family memories of my childhood in 70s/80s here. I remember the boat you could play on outside the clubhouse and some great nights there. So sad to see it in this state now

Gorgeous scenery especially West Wight. I think it's filmed at Freshwater Down by the military Road looking back to Compton Bay. Haven't been back to the Isla d in years and would be interesting to see a comparison now with the erosion by Compton and Military Road. Thanks for showing the whole film was lovely.

Surely the council own it as it was donated to them and sited by them? If not put in the gardens then the local museum should have it, can't be left to fall into oblivion.
