This was the third Rev 1 design that Jørgen did and it was the first mirrored design. The kites were ready for the event at Bristol 1995 which was the 100th formal event that the team had attended. The kites were flown extensively for the next couple of years.
The design was re-made in 2018 in the 'Zen' sail format (c170g) and was delivered in time for Berck. Since then it has been flown extensively and may be the current kite of choice. The Green Race frame (c100g) in the Rev 1 scale sails give them a wide wind speed range.

Sixteen fliers took to the air at about 3:20pm for the The Artevento Flying Circus Performance led by Sébastien Clarke and Chris Goff; the exact line-up follows. Felix Mottram was on the camera and captured a series of images, mostly with the Valundra flying saucer in the middle of the frame.
Fliers were Ashley, Johnny, Stephen, Chris, Henri, Andy, Lisa, Helen, Aude, Ronan, Dominic, Jessica, Jim, Lynn, Sébastien and Philippe. It was a radio assisted session thanks to Philippe.
