The size of the gap is visible in: http://www.ipcvision.com/page01/page14/bridg-01.htm He may have done it at low water, but you never know. There's also the rather spectacular pass made by the world's first jet airliner - the Vickers Nene Viking - on its debut, where it's reputed to have mad a fast pass down the runway at the Farnborough show at an altitude of something like 10'. There's a very good photograph of this exploit which turned up in Aeroplane MOnthly a while back, but there doesn't seem to be a locatable electronic copy (still (c), I guess). Can't comment about the video as it appears to be in some wierd proprietary format (something windows, probably..) -- Andy Breen ~ Interplanetary Scintillation Research Group http://users.aber.ac.uk/azb/ Feng Shui: an ancient oriental art for extracting money from the gullible (Martin Sinclair) |
