Human Powered Flight 50th anniversary at Lasham
The Royal Aeronautical Society organised commemorative flights at Lasham Airfield to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first proven unassisted flight of a human powered aircraft. Derek Piggott flew the original flight in the aircraft SUMPAC built by Southampton University students. The commemorative flights were made by pilots Bill Brooks and Robin Kraike in the aircraft Airglow which was built by John McIntyre and refurbished by Bill Brooks and his team.
