World's First! Peregrine Falcon - Lucy, Taking Lure From Hang Glider.mpg

27th May 2010. Peregrine falcon - Lucy, trained by Lloyd & Rose Buck, filmed by Lee Sparey, flown to take a lure from a hang glider. Still in early stages of training. The results of which will be shown on at 4.30 on BBC 2, Blue Peter on 4th Oct and (I think) on the 11th.

who's the pilot? is it snell!?!

that must be a hell of an experience to have bait taken from you whilst flying!

@diccoo32. The pilot's name was Tom, don't know his surname. Judy Leden is our usual pilot, but Tom stepped in on this particular flight. Lucky guy!

Thanks sttallin. This is from the UK, Derbyshire. Hopefully going to get much better footage than this in the near future!

According to July's UK SkyWings Mag, the lucky pilot was Tom Crawford flying a rather slow C4
