MPX5088854: Pedal Power Takes a Nosedive. It was great while it lasted. But the flight of Britain's latest man-powered aircraft ended rather abruptly The plane, grandly named Jupiter, came down to earth with a crash after being caught by a gust of wind at the Royal Air Force station at Banson, Oxfordshire. But for the pilot, 28- year-old Flight Lieutenant John Potter, it had been more than a mere flight of fancy. They bicycle-driven plane, which has an 80-ft wingspan, had stayed aloft for 44 seconds and flown a creditable 500-yards, spurred on by his energetic pedalling. The balsa wood and foil cockpit canopy is fastened in position around pilot John Potter before Jupiter's take-off. March 1972 / Bridgeman Images
