Thanks BEagle - I'm glad I was wrong.
Broomstick - I don't know and unfortunately I can't contact my usual source of such information at the moment, but BEagle might know. - By the way, with regard to your Username - have you ever seen those brilliant, radio-controlled microlights which are witches on broomsticks complete with black cat rudder? Watching them skimming along just above hedge height at Rufforth a few years ago must have given some passing motorists quite a funny turn.
This isn't one of the ones I saw but it gives you a good idea.
