Something very special happened this year high up in the French Alpes in 2018.
After a longer than expected gestation period, a shiny new Carbon Dragon hatched out of its egg and took to the air in the skies above Aspres, and oh, what a glorious creature she is.
This is the first all-carbon composite Carbon Dragon to be built, and it is an absolute dream to fly - utterly vice less and so much more fun to fly than a sailplane
I plan to return to Aspres for some serious thermal flying next July/August for as long as my piggybank holds out.
