Please note that rapidly increasing prices due to energy price increases and the falling value of the Pound are making it difficult to keep pace with current prices. We are incorporating price increases as quickly as we can, but cannot guarantee that the web site will be always up-to-date. We have no option but to sell at prices ruling at the time of delivery, but our close contact with customers means that you will always know how much you are spending! |

With well over thirty years in the trade, we are the longest-established UK company to specialise in Free Flight. You can trade with us with a degree of confidence!
Being so well established, Firebird UK has established an impressive array of distributorships for some of the World’s leading brands. We tend to be very loyal to our brands, and have been with most of them for more than ten years. Currently, we are the sole UK Distributors for:- |
 | > FIREBIRD: Paragliders and equipment.
> TEAM 5: Paragliders and Reserve Systems
> MOYES DELTA GLIDERS: Hang Gliders
> NORTH WING: Hang Gliders and Trikes
> CHARLY: Crash helmets, Harnesses and Accessories

| You can order all these ranges from us, unless you live in those countries where there are local sole distributors appointed. |
PLEASE NOTE that the site is currently not on a secure server so, after we have received your online order, we will need to be in contact to arrange payment. Whether you contact us, or we contact you, this extra step does help ensure you are getting exactly what you want, and also allows you to pick our experienced brains if need be. |  |
| We have just lost a legal battle, which will necessitate changes in the way in which we do business. At some point I will write an article expanding on this, but for now it is worth noting that the efficacy of a product is no longer as important as having the right bits of paper attached to it. Another lesson learnt.... |
Here are a few flattering comments that have been made by some of our customers in recent months. It's good to have friends!

Stu Belbas (Verbier Summits):
"Simon is the funniest man I have ever met."
Rob Dowdell Chairman (and ex Secretary) of the RNHPC (for the last 15 years!)
"Firebird UK has supplied the Royal Navy HG & PG Club with a whole range of equipment over the 20 years of the Club's existence - varios, radios, tow releases, parachutes, harnesses and recently our 3 Litespeed-S and 2 Sonic hang gliders. They have also been our annual hang glider servicing agent for the last 2 years - we moved to FBUK after the demise of the Joint Services maintenance facility at Crickhowell. Simon and Martyn have provided us with a top notch facility since and as a result I am certain that our Club members are using equipment that is in perfect condition. There is no doubt that Firebird are streets ahead of the other suppliers that we have dealt with in the past in terms of quality of service - well done guys we intend using you for the next 20 years at least! Fly Navy."
Eibhlin & Nick Fletcher:
"We appreciate all that you have done for us over the years Simon, you're a rare breed"
