Model Aircraft 1946/10 October (RCL#1513)
"You can imagine our amazement when one of the models hit a riser at about 200 feet and was eventually timed 20.5 minutes, out of sight. Unfortunately, the Germans really sat up and took notice after this performance and suggested we were sending messages. This fact and, happily, the prospects of the war finishing in the near future, prevented further activity."
