Because the sport has gone through a number of evolutions, these are
precisely the stories which deserve capturing.
As the 'it can't happen now' in the current preferred form of the
sport
means that whole generations of pilots both don't understand the short
hand references some pilots make
plus the connection these make to previous modes of the sport.
Some pilots then become perplexed (even angry if past posts are any
guide)
as they intuitively guess that they are missing out on something
relevant.
Like George Detto's workshop cat
(ask a long term Southern Cross pilot)
the horse drawn Zeppelin
(shhh, don't mention the war)
and JRIP Industires
which even though it is very recent is already a 'colours' anecdote
(the story was offered to a gliding magazine but that only confused the
editor)

I've been flying with a dog. Not my dog, but the instructor's who was
in the
back seat. Also in a Blanik.
