Launch of the new CalMac ferry from Ferguson Marine, Port Glasgow. The slip in the foreground was where Glen Sannox was built and departed only a few minutes prior to this photo.
Morecambe Lifeboat launch their Hovercraft.In well over forty years this is the first time I have seen a launch.A case of being in the right place at the right time.
Before the Hovercraft there was just an RNLI inshore rescue boat.
Though for many years before the local fishermen had their own ie;not (RNLI boat) lifeboat. which if I remember was a converted fishing boat.

A Discus Launch Glider (DLG) is a radio controlled model sailplane launched using a 'discus launch' in which the glider is held by a wingtip and rotated around the flyer by hand before release. Using this method of launching the average flier can achieve launch heights of greater than 140 feet (43 m), with the better throwers exceeding 200-foot (61 m) high launches.
The discus method of hand launching has now in effect replaced the older 'javelin style' launch, where a hand launched model glider would be launched over-arm, like a javelin would be thrown. The discus launch is far easier, more efficient and less physically demanding than the javelin launch.
Although some DLG designs utilise a traditional built-up construction using balsa wood and covering film, most DLG models are generally now constructed from composite materials, in the form of Kevlar, carbon fibre and glass fibre. Fuselages are moulded in Kevlar/carbon and epoxy, with wings either moulded as a hollow composite shell, or vacuum bagged over a wire-cut foam core.
Most DLG models use aileron, rudder and elevator control, with the ailerons also being used as camber changing flaps for different modes of flight and also as airbrakes for landing. A modern DLG model weighs approximately 9 or 10 ounces (255-283 grams) and has sophisticated aerodynamics. Many pilots use computer radio transmitters with full mixing and flight mode capabilities in order to optimise performance and set up the models for flight as near perfectly as possible.
DLG models are used for both general fun/sport flying and also for contest flying.
