On the rise! The James And The Giant Yorkshire Pudding team see their contraption soar


It's pie in the sky for this team from Yorkshire...but not for long, as they soon took a battering!

The team dubbed James And The Giant Yorkshire Pudding were taking part in the annual Red Bull Flugtag festival, with the madness descending on the city's Roundhay Park.

And judging by these pictures the crowds were treated to a comical spectacle as a number of other wacky aircrafts took immediate plunges into the water.

Held yearly, the event invites competitors to build and attempt to fly their own homemade flying machines, launching their creations from the six metre high platform.

Pud's up: The Yorkshire pudding proves a pleasant treat for its owners


Over 15,000 spectators braved the weekend's showers and were rewarded with laughs galore, with very few of the 34 'aircrafts' managing to soar high above the waters for long.

Toy Story heroes To Infinity and the Pond took first place, ahead of Come on Kes with My Whippy and His Team of Toppings - first off the ramp, finishing in a respectable third place.

However, the crowds did see a real aviation display when the Red Bull Matadors performed a series of loop-the-loops to top off the day's showcase
