In an early test flight of the Turdis, Chris Rea went back to an August day in London, 2012, his Turdis started to cough and spark, and one spark and a piece of molten metal landed on zip wire at Victoria Park, this was just as Boris Johnson was due to have a go on the zip wire, the roller stalled on the blob of metal, and left Boris dangling in a crumpled suit, waving two small Union Flags, until he was rescued by the ride operators, who got the blame for this incident, Chris Rea thought it was the funniest thing ever.
