VIDEO: Gadget Show star flies at Worthing Birdman
STUDENTS at University of Southampton created two craft flown by Gadget Show star Jason Bradbury at Worthing Birdman.
Jason's co-presenter on the channel Five show Ortis Deley joined him on the platform at the end of Worthing Pier, to help launch the wide wings.
A combined distance of 64.77 metres from the two flights meant Jason took third place in the Leonardo Da Vinci class for inventors and self-builds.
