This rather forbidding looking contraption, tucked away on a grim industrial
estate with Yarls Wood detention centre.....is the wind tunnel where we flew
for the first time yesterday. It's an amazing experience and one I sadly
couldn't document. You can't so much as wear a wedding ring for fear of it
flying off, being recirculated by the giant turbine and coming back to have
your eye out, so no chance of going in with a camera.
However, the DVD
proves that I did indeed fly and, in my case, somewhat in the fashion of a
demented sparrow, forever sailing off higher than I should then dropping
back down to headbutt the windows. An amazing experience though, I highly
recommend, even if from the outside it looks and sounds like a low budget
sci-fi set.
