    Perhaps Mrs. Clipper would go for a V-1 lawn ornament - much less ostentatious in all ways (although no where near as cool...)

    Keep those pictures coming - we vicarious travelers are chomping at the bit!

    All the best,
    Matt

    Hey -- the Lawn Dart Crossbow was a *brilliant* idea! We just needed to dial back the power a bit to stop it shooting through tool-cabinet doors.

    Very cool, John, but I was envisioning one wing-deep almost vertically into the ground. Were that not possible, this might be a suitable substitute...

    What about one of these - a Grand Slam Bomb? This one is at Coningsby in Lincolnshire.

    The tail fin looks suitably minute, David - perhaps if buried deep enough, it might work - albeit a bit less spectacular than a V-weapon...

    All the best,

    Just wonder how long something like this could go undetected from Google in my backyard, and who might knock on my front door . . ?
