And so have to divert/abort the landing. Air traffic, needless to say, don't like them. If you're anywhere near a flightpath you're supposed to check with the local airport. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4049#post-43263 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 12:44:24 +0000 chdot 43263@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> southwest_team: </p> <p>This dalmation teddy was left Harrison @ Park storytelling event.

I was very dismayed to find that they were all the foreign imported cheap kind with white twisty wire for attaching the firelighters, yet no-one else seemed bothered and launched them off with gusto.</p> <p>From EDP24 <a href="http://www.edp24.co.uk/business/farming-news/norfolk_farmers_welcome_lantern_pledge_1_637648">last year</a>:</p> <p>"<br /> [The issue] was raised in the Commons by South Norfolk MP Richard Bacon, who has been contacted by local farmers, about what steps the coalition government was taking to overcome concerns.</p> <p>'Chinese lanterns pose a threat to farmers both because of the fire risk to standing crops when lanterns fall into fields and because the wire frames are cut into small pieces by harvesting equipment so that wire is incorporated into animal feed such as hay and silage, which kills farm animals,' he said.<br /> " </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4049#post-43181 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 13:50:39 +0000 spytefear 43181@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>we can always see about removing it from them if they do and create a fire hazard instead ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4049#post-43176 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 13:38:12 +0000 DaveC 43176@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for the no metal addition to your post. I hate the lanterns with metal in them as they can act as traps for small animals. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4049#post-43175 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 13:36:46 +0000 spytefear 43175@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>yeah you can't miss Bat night AND flying lanterns...<br /> I wonder if the bats will crash into them and come down in a fiery ball of fur making the distinct crashing bomber noise from Battle of Britain movie towards the landing lights on the canal.<br /> See you there then. I hope they have enough lanterns as they didn't have enough bat detectors to go round. Also I hope they have no metal in them <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8490524.stm">farmers hate that</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4049#post-43171 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 13:26:20 +0000 SRD 43171@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>ah, we thought we'd missed it yesterday (I got blamed 'cause I was out at the pub :( so, yes, will try to get along. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4049#post-43168 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 13:23:32 +0000 spytefear 43168@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I will be there.
