Martin Lester

"Bristol's Own" Martin Lester brought many of his kites to the festival, as did many of the kite groups and teams. There were plenty of Martin Lester's body parts to be seen throughout the weekend, including the large inflatable people, divers, Top Halfs, footballers, Natalie's legs (with suspenders) and Naomi, the female diver.

Peter Lynn

Peter Lynn spent a lot of his time at Bristol 2002 running around keeping his huge inflatable kites in the air. With a 1500ft height clearance for the event, that's a lot of line and a lot of kite! We asked Peter if he makes any small kites - he answered, "Sure, the teddy bear". Hmm, time to redefine the word 'small'...

Peter Lynn must be applauded for climbing a prickly tree to retrieve the Manta Ray, which lost its fight with the honeypot belonging to the Brighton Kite Flyers large yellow Teddy Bear!
