- Oliver_Kite abstract "Oliver Kite (1920–1968) was a master flyfisherman, writer, broadcaster, naturalist and television personality of the 1960s. He was born on November 27, 1920, in Castleton, Monmouthshire, and his family later moved to Lancashire. He joined the army (Royal Engineers) in 1941 and served as an officer in India, Burma, Malaya and Singapore. He married Norah Fallon in Singapore in July 1947. After a number of postings, including witnessing an atomic bomb test in Maralinga, Australia, where he suffered a heart attack at the age of 35, he settled in Wiltshire in 1958 and retired from the army in 1965.Oliver Kite gained a wide affection and audience among television viewers in the 1960s as the presenter of "Kite's Country" on Southern TV, gently displaying his skills as a fly fisherman and his keen naturalist's eye for the wildlife of Wiltshire and Hampshire, each weekly episode being narrated in his lilting Welsh accent with considerable charm and expert knowledge. Known for his simple fishing style, extraordinarily keen vision and his invention of several enduringly successful fly patterns, including Kite's Imperial, his many friends locally were augmented by admirers in France, Norway and across the UK. Oliver Kite popularised to a wide audience the Netheravon style of nymph fishing invented by Frank Sawyer, the Avon riverkeeper and author, to whom he gave full credit in his book "Nymph Fishing in Practice", first published in 1963. A new edition with a biographical introduction and notes by Robert Spaight was published by Swan Hill Press in 2000 (ISBN 978-1840371086). He went on to co-host a program with Jack Hargreaves also on Southern Television called "Country Boy" the idea being to teach a young boy from the city the ways of country life and each week this young person would be introduced to another new experience living in the country such as fishing. Oliver Kite died of a second heart attack on the banks of the River Test in 1968, at the early age of 48.".
