<p><u>Flare Moustache</u><br />
<br />
This is not just another paraglider or speedwing or miniwing. This is the beginning of new flying style. XC paragliding, paramotoring, akro, hike and fly, speedflying, speedriding and now flaring. The Moustache is the first wing that combines the glideratio from a small paraglider with the speed and dive of a speedwing. It’s the first paraglider you can not only steer left and right, you can also dive down like a hanglider. The Moustache adds another dimension. The Moustache is developed for coastal soaring. We do use the smaller sizes for speedflying and speedriding, but it offers a very different flying feeling. The Moustache has much more aspect ratio than normal speedwings, this is part of what takes away this snappy Go-Kart feeling many people like on speedwings. It’s a weired combination of a very fast wing that is less reactiv than speedwings with the same speed. Simply put; You can’t compare it to any other wing out there. The closest to flying a Moustache is flying a foil kite, which is highly dangerous and we don’t recommend.</p>

<p>The Cenotaph, Whitehall, London, England. The Cenotaph is a war memorial designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. It was unveiled in 1920 as the United Kingdom's national memorial to the dead of Britain and the British Empire of the First World War. It was rededicated in 1946 to include those of the Second World War, and has since come to represent the Commonwealth casualties from those and later conflicts. The word cenotaph is derived from Greek, meaning &quot;empty tomb&quot;. Most of the dead were buried close to where they fell; thus, the Cenotaph symbolizes their absence and is a focal point for public mourning. The original temporary Cenotaph was erected in 1919 for a parade celebrating the end of the First World War, at which more than 15,000 servicemen, including French and American soldiers, saluted the monument. More than a million people visited the site within a week of the parade. Calls for the Cenotaph to be rebuilt in permanent form began almost immediately. After some debate, the government agreed and construction work began in May 1920.</p>
