THE RUMOUR that the weather actually turned out nice for a UK flying festival is still circulating and gaining momentum. People have been posting photographs of "gliders in the air" and then purporting to have taken the photos at the "Homegrown 2006 Puddle Jumping Games".
Keen to chase this up and put the rumour to bed, we did a little digging. We managed to collar Games organiser Justin Muchly, under his Burberry umbrella and running for his BMW, "What? Flying? Oh, I don't know about that sort of thing old chap, I just lease out my fathers field at 8 thou a week."
We also managed to catch up with acro superstar Raul Rolla Wingtip, who told us, "Flyin? Weeza here for de dope. Mi parapente esta en casa, tio"
So it's going to be pretty much up to Joe Paraglider to decide if any flying actually took place. Examine these exclusive images. Are they the real deal or have they been tampered with? You decide.
