Roger Blighty and Betsy Blue

Roger Blighty and Betsy Blue, one man and a wonderfully detailed scale model of a biplane on an old faithful penny-farthing bicycle.

She boasts a six foot wingspan, motorised propellers, and a loud onboard sound system that replicates all the sounds of a biplane including engine and flight noises, splutters and coughs and fly-bys. In addition to comedy sound effects the act includes traditional aeroplane orientated music such as Ride of the Valkyries, Those Magnificent Men, the Dambusters theme tune, 633 Squadron theme and many more, all the sounds can be triggered at the touch of a button whilst in ‘mid-flight’. She is highly manoeuvrable and can negotiate virtually any terrain including crowded areas.
