The unbeaten rubber band flight record set in Lincolnshire
Martin has held the record for nearly four years
Martin Pike achieved the Guinness World Record for the Longest duration for a rubber band powered model aircraft to remain in the air .
Launching a handmade plane flight, powered by nothing more than a rubber band, is no mean feat. It’s no wonder this Grantham made Guinness World Record has been untouched for four years.
Radiologist Martin Pike, 49, holds the Guinness World Record for the ‘Longest duration for a rubber band powered model aircraft to remain in the air’.
Martin attended the British Model Flying Association (BMFA) Free Flight Nationals held at RAF Barkston Heath near Grantham on May 28, 2017. This is the date the record was set, but it was not part of the BMFA event.

A developer’s plans for 66 homes in a Grimsby village could be given the go ahead next week.
Snape Properties’ reserved matters proposals for land at Bradley Road, Barnoldby Le Beck, will appear before North East Lincolnshire Council’s planning committee on Wednesday.
In a report before the committee, officers will recommend it for approval, saying the principle of the site has already been agreed and that it accords with a number of planning policies.
The development will be a mix of detached and semi-detached properties and will include 13 homes classed as affordable.
