EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the introduction of a microlight, often referred to as the "poor man's plane" in the UK. Taken at the Windsports Centre located at Wombleton Aerodrome in Kirbymoorside, North Yorkshire on April 30th, 1983, this image showcases an exciting moment in aerospace history. The microlight featured in this photograph is a single-seater aircraft designed for leisure and hobby flying. With its compact size and lightweight construction, it offers an affordable option for individuals passionate about taking to the skies. The pilot seated inside becomes one with their machine, experiencing pure freedom and exhilaration. During the 1980s, when this picture was taken, microlights were gaining popularity among aviation enthusiasts across the country. This particular model represents a significant milestone as it marked its debut within UK airspace. As we gaze upon this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints by NCJ, we are transported back to a time when dreams of flight became more accessible than ever before. It serves as a reminder that aviation is not solely reserved for commercial use but also encompasses personal pursuits and recreational enjoyment. Intriguingly captured against a backdrop of picturesque North Yorkshire scenery, this image encapsulates both technological progress and human passion intertwined with nature's beauty.
