Default Bungee at Long Myndd

The old Sealand club used to have a very large 6 cable winch, which

could
launch 6 sequentially, before the land-rover had to bring all the cables
back. I don't know what that winch was, but it may have been the sort
used at other RAF gliding sites.

The club you refer to at Sealand was actually an Air Cadet Gliding
Squadron (used to be school) and the standard equipement was the Munster
van Gelder winch.
