Amid a swirl of media attention and hounded by hordes of paparazzi, five contestants faced off before a small but fanatical group of spectators on Sunday July 25, 2010. When the props stopped and the dust settled one man emerged to bask in the glow of victory.
Mike L, with his exquisite model - decorated to perfectly mimic a real Volkspane - emerged head and shoulders above the rest, and not just because he is a lot taller.
Mike won all 4 categories as follows
BEST THREE TIMES OUT OF FIVE
Mike L 169.5 secs
Ed S 112.6
Tom W 80
George B 72.1
LONGEST SINGLE FLIGHT
MIKE 1 minute 02 secs
Ed 40.4 secs
Tom 28 secs
George 24.1 secs
CONCOURS (a totally subjective scoring method by myself)
Mike 85 points
George 84
Jim 77
Ed 76
Tom 65
MASS LAUNCH (IF YOU CAN CALL FIVE MODELS A MASS)
Mike (still going after the rest of us had gone home)
So first prize of a Gizmo Geezer went to Mike, and Ed as the runner up received a packet of rubber bands - both provided by George.
Jim broke his prop during a final trimming session and was unable to compete in the main section)
Models from top right clockwise - Ed, Mike, George, Tom and Jim.
Thanks to everyone for a great session and lots of laughs. We invite anyone to email us with times and photos of their peanut Volkspanes.
