0152341 - Belfast, N. Ireland: The problem of flight has always intrigued man, and none more so than these students of aeronautics at Queen's University, Belfast. These three students, in their final year, discuss a project with Mr Terenue Nonweiler (right) senior lecturer in the aeronautical department. The students have thought up an interesting way of man-powered flight by bicycle; Two men on the a tandom supply the drive to get the "Flying Bicycle" into the air. The progress of the experiment, still in its early stages, is being closely watched by the Royal Aeronautical Society; It is hoped the interest shown will produce more money for experiments. Lack of finance has been a main obstacle in development of the idea beyond the model stage, although a full-scale wing has been tested out. 12th April 1959.
