This historical (and now possibly hysterical!) footage shows the early days of ultralight flying in the mid to late 1970’s. It follows a typical flying day for the Super Ultralight Aircraft Association of Townsville (Queensland, Australia), operating at Donnington Airpark, a privately-owned airfield at Woodstock, which is 40 km south of Townsville on the Flinders Highway. The original footage was taken by members of the Townsville 8MM Film Club with production of the final documentary then undertaken by club member Don Pickett.
