Are our 5-point rotary action quick-release units the same as the car
racing gang use?

Following myself up: I've just been speaking to Willans Harnesses
(both the Stockbridge Racing operation and Willans Harnesses, the
division that used to do glider harnesses).

Stockbridge said that under no circumstances would they sell any of
their harnesses or upgrades for gliding use and quoted both
certification and product liability as the reasons for this.

Willans Harnesses do custom harnesses and tree climbing equipment and
used to make gliding harnesses. They no longer do glider harnesses in
any shape or form because the cost and time involved in obtaining JAR
certification was so great that they saw no nett benefit to themselves
in obtaining it.

It appears that Schroth is currently the only game in town on this
side of the pond.
