Helicopter Landing Officer Walkabout
If you want a helicopter landing, or at least a crowd to swear that’s what’s happening, Officer Randy Stenchz is your man! No site is too difficult, no venue is too inappropriate or dangerous, no site official is too important to stop Randy from ‘just doing my job, – don’t get excited’, and ‘bringing in a big one’! Officer uniform, air traffic control radio, day bats/night wands, flares, landing circle, and unnecessary clipboards, files, checklists, laminates, and I.D. make Randy an official you can’t do without. (Outdoor events only)
“I hope you’ve got good insurance cover mate, coz if this thing blows away, it’s gonna cost you a quarter of a million quid.” Proprietor of underarm deodorant promotional inflatable marquee, Virgin 2003
Mr Radio Control Walkabout
He’s happiest at the controls of a large digger, police Landrover, tour bus or on final approach in a Boeing 747, all via his trusty radio control unit, of course. He’ll convince himself (and everyone else) he’s in control of anything that moves, adapting instantly to a situation; Pigeons, plastic bags blowing on the breeze, clouds, drunks – all have been at the wrong end of John’s manipulations. (Outdoor events only)
“You're not really controlling that bag are you mate... Are you?” Very confused punter, V2005
Frank of ‘Shite-Away’ Walkabout
The unsavoury litter-picker. At first glance, unsavoury Frank is simply picking rubbish. However, look again and you soon realise that’s the one thing he never actually does. Frank re-arranges rubbish, redistributes rubbish, ‘recycles’ rubbish, hides rubbish under vehicles, meticulously goes through it for fag-butts and full beer cans, and if it ever actually gets as far as his bin-liner – it comes straight out of the hole in the bottom…after all, it’s the end of his shift and why should he care? (Outdoor events only)
Shite-Away 2000 Walkabout
The same but modern, with an annoying leaf blower/sucker - the new way to redistribute rubbish or suck it up/spit it out.
NOTE: This act can be known as 'Kak-Gonn' for family events
“You’re missing the bag, son. All you’ve got to do is put rubbish in a bag – that’s all there is to it.” Michael Eavis, Glastonbury 2002
Remote Control Canada Goose
This is the real thing! Or at least real fibreglass. Watch their little faces as the goose quietly infiltrates a group of real wildfowl on the river until – what’s this?! Tight, reverse figure-of-eights??!! Recent secret trials off Welsh coast have shown goose is literally sea-worthy, and with a range of 500m, is the perfect icebreaker at any event that includes large expanses of water.
“Ja, but what does it do?” Dutch onlooker, clearly well-used to the sight of a plastic remote-controlled goose attacking tourist pleasure boats, New Year 2003
The Urban Wolf Project Installation
‘Bringing the call of the wild to British Cities...’ Contrary to myth, wolves are not dangerous, and here at the Urban Wolf Project we aim to have small free-ranging wolf packs in at least central Birmingham and Bristol by 2009. The benefits would include predation of urban foxes and they would deter muggers and thieves who commonly operate at night, as do wolves.
