To me this is what microlight aircraft is all about, taking off on a sunny morning with Ben Vorlich is the background. It is a pity that the screeners at Airliners.net do not share my enthusiasm ;)

This aircraft has been pulled out of the hangar and given some Tender Loving Care by the owners. The trolley to the left of the picture is used to maneuver the aircraft in the hangar.
