      Funny!! (I'd sussed it before a few minutes); definately fascinating!!

      Blimey FC, I know Saturday night TV is poor and you've turned to other entertainments, but how on earth did you winkle that one out!?

        No, I watched the first about 5 minutes, then fast forwarded bits. I'll have another try but skipping to the end in case there's a punchline.

        The "punchline" happens around the 6, 61/2 minute mark (if you hadn't worked it out before then) :heehee:

        There isn't a punchline as such clueless, its just a great big model airport that 'works' to the point where the planes actually take off and fly away (albeit through a hatch in the wall so that they are probably sent round a system of belts or whatever behind the scenes to fly back in and land sometime later. It even goes through a period of dusk and night.

        There has been a hell of a lot of thought and work put into it.

          I recognised it straight away as a great model. I just mistakenly believed there was a twist.

            Nah, no twist - just me being a bit sad and finding it interesting :biggrin:

              Not sad, FC! Hornby and Scalextric have made fortunes on the back of great modelling :dbgrtmb: (I was a whizz with a Scalextric ... my brothers hated me for it :heehee: )

                There's nowt wrong with liking it. I was impressed. I just read too much into it (as usual) and rather than simply enjoying it for what it was, I was watching every little detail looking for something that wasn't there.
