The best toy of the 70's for a boy was definitely a Peter Powell kite!
Who had one of these? They were awesome.
I googled and you can't buy them nowadays. Anybody know why not?
What happened to Peter Powell and his kites ?? 🙁
Originally posted by NordlysApart from being the first stunt kites (Peter Powell patented I believe), they had 20m long tails that were filled with wind. You could write your name in the sky, and wrap the tail around people's necks if you were clever 😛. I don't know about today's kites, as I had just a brief google.
