I have to agree, though it could have looked closer than it was because of the zoom lens.

In this part, the child looks alarmingly close:-





I'm sure it must be down to the camera

You're probably right Sangoma - a tele lens will foreshorten distance but I still think that it's a potentially dangerous setup - there seems to be quite a few people wandering around as they please and unaccompanied children could lead to a disaster. The model flown straight at the camera seemed to be a bit of a no, no as well!

I didn't see a problem with the model flying towards the camera, it gave the impression of going straight at it because of the camera angle, but was missing, also it must have been arranged, so the person behind the camera would have been aware and watching carefully.

I have 1 thing to say Seamus "Grand"

Its a multiplex Zeno

I hope I dont tempt faith but there has been model flying in the park since 1909 without any "unfortunates"
