(yep...John Lane) Isn't that just like the Missles Officer to worry about little things flying about in the air. :o)

John Lane? Saw him at Thetford a week or three
back, complete with a cut down version of one of his trebuchets. Much fun was
had intercepting water filled ballistic balloons - I managed to head one,
not at all unpleasant on such a hot day.
The self destruction of a trebuchet can be fun to
watch, but the disadvantage of torsion ballistas is that when they decide to
self destruct, bits of ballista have a tendancy to become very nasty missiles in
their own right.
Which is one of the reasons why I've resisted the
temptation to experiment with them thus far.
Still - never say never.
Chris.
