Thanks JJ.
That video takes me back a few, no, make that many, years. From the way the owner was shaking his hand it would seem that he picked the aircraft up by the hot bit.
Bet he lit the fuse with his fag, as well!
I've still got a Jetex racing car and helicopter somewhere - never could get the latter to perform and the local park keeper wasn't too keen on it either, even well before the days of health and safety!
Anyone else remember the Schoolboys Exhibition (?) at Earls Court Olympia in the early fifties? Essential annual visit (mind you, me dad used to enjoy it as much as I did). I've also got a meta fuel powered boat from that era.

Sorry, slight thread drift.
