Up, up and awwwaaaaaaaayyyyy

There's something very eccentric happening in Hyde Park this weekend...

Flugtag is an event imported from Austria that requires a little madness and a lot of guts.

Participants attempt to fly a contraption of their own invention from a 6m high ramp in the Serpentine.

You can see a preview of the fearsome flying machines including a Hong Kong Phooey Mobile at www.redbullflugtag.co.uk.

Plenty of belly laughs and belly flops. Hyde Park, W2. Sun 3 Aug, 1pm-5pm, free.
