Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's the Bognor Regis Birdman competition!
Recently Bognor Regis has been attracting plenty of tourists. But it's not the great weather that's bring them down to the seaside. It's the annual Bognor Regis Birdman competition. Which saw the brilliant and the outright mad competing for the £600 cash prize. The winner was American David Moore, who's human powered flying machine sealed first place with a graceful flop.

Dave Moore! You are still flying... sort of! Great video "...and a couple of fools but the Americans trumped the Brits ...David Moore winning with a semi stylish flop... " Love it! I remember the pictures of old prototypes and good to see you're still designing!

Listening to Puff the Magic Dragon in Japanese as I watch this vid. Bizarre enough to be suitable. I worked with a guy who took part in the Birdman when it was at Selsey, early 70s. He did about as well as could be expected. Viva British eccentricity !!!!

This is a real birdman comp- not those rubbish ones where they try to fly- give me a series of people in crazy outfits leaping off a pier for the enjoyment of all- done it several times myself in a Batman / Superman costume.
