Back in the 60s when R/C planes were fairly rare a teacher at a nearby
boarding school was always letting his go out of range but the label
promising £5 reward ensured he got it back often by pupils going out to
look for it in their leisure hours.
One day we were with the owner of the neighbouring farm when the darned
thing approached yet again,
€œ Im not having those ****ing kids trample my crop again looking for that€�
at which point he got the shotgun out of the Landrover and gave it both
barrels.
He took the shredded remains to the owner and claimed the reward.
The chap must have got the message as a rebuild or replacement never
appeared our way again.
