Birdman
The Birdman Rally is a flight competition for human powered flying machines that is held every summer on the South Coast of England. Under the gaze of TV cameras and tourists, the competitors take off from a pier, and fly as far as they can before landing in the sea. There is a prize of ￡30,000 for the first person to fly 100 metres.
Reading Comprehension
Since one man managed to fly 99.86 metres last year, the competition among the serious competitors has become even fiercer than ever. Teams of enthusiasts around the world have been busy working on their designs for this summer.
Meanwhile, there are, as always in Britain, an increasing number of pantomime competitors. The organisers find it worth encouraging as many of these as possible, since the pantomime entrants keep everybody amused and raise a lot of money for good causes. Some of their costumes are unforgettable.
Over the years, the competition has seen two brothers jumping as a racehorse, several flying cows, various squirrels, penguins, flying donuts, any number of classic clowns, Donald Ducks, Pink Panthers, Supermen, Henry the Eighths and Harry Potters; but the all-time favourite was in the 2001 event: a giant insect, complete with four training shoes ready for the shock of its landing in the English Channel.
While the British Birdman Rally continues to grow, other Birdman competitions have started up around the world, including one in Hunan in China.
