Re: Some old kites on eBay

I have now reframed and assembled some of these kites and have identified four. The other two still mystery although a pair and were flown stacked.(Bridle links on leading edge) So links to photos

The last pictured has partner in green and tagged Made in Great Britain. otherwise no identifing marks. The OverFlot has partner in blue but has to be re framed as none in it. All that are framed are in 5.5mm Easton carbon except the Spin-Off which is in 6mm with 8mm spine.
Any ideas on the anon ones appreciated.
Tim

Last two now positively identified as LiteFlites. I propose to reframe the Spin-Off back in 8mm although it does fly well as is ,I would rather be able to fly it with other members of Solent KF and their Spin-off`s .

Rare Air Flash Angel now rebuilt although with modern fittings rather than fuel hose (i`m not a purist). Shown with another of my finds Rare Ar Flash Rat also by Zbys.

Look forward to seeing them 'in the flesh', so to speak!

Anyone know or remember the Flash Angel Kite and what it was framed in, seems to flex more than I would expect framed in 6mm. No clues came with it so I am guessing.
