I have a feeling that this is going to be a bit like the joke about Luigi the boatbuilder [I sh*gga da one sheep...!]

"You should have sent your cameraman, he'd have got them down"

But in how many pieces?

[Colonel Blink]

... and here at last for your entertainment...

Spectacular Colonel! I love the way that, after just missing the first model, you made absolutely sure of the Pulstar, a classic "bounce" in the best traditions of Bader, Johnson et al.

[Colonel Blink]

Well I don't think I'll be risking chasing any more models to get video!! But the video shows the Buckminster field well - two flat grass runways large enough to land a light aircraft on, and all the cars parkes off on the far side of the runways were in the free flight area.

Thanks for doing that Phil - since I lost Windows Movie Maker, I really need to get myself a usable (ie not over complex like Sony Vegas) video editing program...

Fantastic! Thanks guys...... With the pilot in the foreground, it really has the feel of WW1 combat! Colin I think you need to change your username to "Red Baron". ........ My model was also somewhere up there at the time so I consider myself lucky! Thanks to Phil too for editing and posting it, including the "action replay"! Have you managed to repair it?

I do hope so!!!

Great picture, Mike!

Maybe the models were attracted to each other through some unexplainable 'Vic Smeed' connection...
