This is a little gallery documenting when Hugh stuffed one of his model aeroplanes with explosives from a banger. Pyrotechnics at their best!
-
The Aeroplane prior to its devestation, along side the banger
which was to be responsible. Being a trained TA professional
Hugh also used a little bit of fireworks insides to get
the whole thing going.
We reccomend against you trying thi at home, as even Hugh
himself managed to get his hand cut during the blast!!
-
With the aeroplane set
up on the water butt Hugh set his camera to take pics at
timed intervals then set off the banger catching these classic
shots!
-
Mid blast pieces of shrapnel
can be seen flying outwards as the plane is torn apart by
the devestating force of the banger.
-
The aftermath showing only a few bits and a smoke cloud.
-
Our brave test pilot has
done a great service for his country. May he rest in piece.
-
The pieces as recovered
by the air crash investigators. The maimed remains of a
once spectacular craft.
