Its taken a long time since the flying bedstead days of pre Harrier days. Very impressive all the same
pretty cool - but how quickly will it boil a litre of water on a windy day?
Seems to be boiling before it took off...
There seemed to be a fire under it as it landed, too, and a bit seemed to fly off it.
Looked very Dan Dare-ish stuff...
Yes - did look a bit scary!
