Twang! The Shuttleworth Collection’s Summer Air Fete at Old Warden on August 1, 1993 was considerably enlivened by the bungee-launching of the English Electric Wren. Thanks to an energetic group of pullers and a stout rubber rope the engagingly underpowered Lympne Trials ultralight made three hops with Bill Bowker aboard. Six volunteers provided the necessary impetus - next time they plan to try eight, and a lighter pilot.
