This very large traditional boomerang was made in the early 1970s out of plywood. It was made with very long blades to give it higher inertia and better wind resistance, thus the name "Windcheater". It is identical to the boomerang made by Bob Burwell as Item BG31. It has the Burwell boomerang logo on the underside and a coating of high gloss varnish or polyurethane, top and bottom. The flight range is 30+ metres. This boomerang is in excellent condition. This is a very rare and collectable Burwell boomerang that originally came out of the Brother Brian M Thomas estate.
