Ernest Barton works as a Media Resources Officer for the ILEA, started building kites four and a half years ago, in order to take aerial photographs. He has since made approximately a hundred kites, of various fabrics such as silk, nylon and cotton, and is one of only five per cent of kite flyers who build their own kites. The blue butterfly, which he has made for 'Xingu', took him about four weeks to complete, including the drawing, building and testing of the kite. Ernest is a member of both the American and the British Kite Flying Associations, and he lives a stone's throw from Blackheath. His ambition is to persuade the Air Ministry to increase the regulation flying limit: at present kites cannot be flown above 200 feet. He accepts commissions for hand-made kites.
