This is something I witnessed and wasn't involved in - at a distance it was quite amusing - but who (if anyone) was bu?
In a large recreation field, lots of families were out on New Year's Day clearly trying out Christmas presents - rollerblades, bikes - and two separate families with those quite large remote-control model planes.
It's also a popular area for people to exercise dogs, and there's nothing to say dogs need to be on leads (but there are signs warning about prosecution for dog fouling, and signs in the surrounding streets about dogs having to be on leads).
One of the model planes got stuck in a tree, then the second one plummetted to the ground, to be retrieved by an enthusiastic Golder Retriever (from another family)..the dog looked as though it was then chewing it.
Model plane owner starts shouting at dog owner that dog should be on a lead. We didn't see the plane fly again..presume it was broken, family trudge off carrying plane.
(In the meantime model plane family 1 are still trying to retrieve plane from tree by chucking sticks at it etc).
I must admit I don't personally like the these planes flying around in busy public areas...lots of them seem to crash, potentially on a person.
Not sure what I would have done if our dog (who wasn't with us) had "retrieved" the plane...the crash was probably just as likely to have stopped it working as the dog.
