This was the moment that Michael York realised that the producers couldn't afford stuntmen.

I suspect the pilot, when he were a lad, used to hang his Airfix models from his bedroom ceiling

What was well known is that Harrison Ford and (Sir) Sean Connery escape from the Zeppelin in The Last Crusade, what is less well known this stunt was actually undertaken by Nutty and Buster and when they (Crash) landed the Me109 was piloted by Coffman, in a vain attempt to secure top sopt in the all time list of Cap Comm posters

Airborne mobile phone towers were a lot lower powered than the ground stations, getting good reception proved a challenge to aviators.

Unaccustomed as I am to adjudicating high profile international competitions such as this, I'll let it run another 24 hours and then see what your devious (or do I mean deviant) minds have generated.

Nutty misunderstood the term "Bi-plane" & took it to mean that he could have a crack at anything...

You are doing fine and nice to have new blood in the competition, the only rule I can think of to help you is:-

1. Never let Buster win
