I have 3 different kites all made by Brookite. They are well built, very easy to assemble and, most important, easy to fly. It is for these reasons that I consider them to be the best kite manufacturer. But, having looked around local kite shops, they seem to be the ONLY kite manufacturer. So I have nothing to compare them with. Does anyone know of any other kite manufacturers who, in their opinion, makes kites as good as or better than Brookite? Would appreciate U.K. addresses for any manufacturers. Also fax numbers. All comments welcome.

So I have nothing to compare them with. I might have tunnel vision, but my view of the world seems to be different. As far as I can see, Brookite sell most of their stock through *toy* shops. If you go to a *real* kite shop (and you'll find the address FAQ if you follow my signature), you'll find a colourful range of all sorts of different kites, of which Brookite is only a small section.
