An artist has turned his cat into a flying helicopter after it was killed by a car.

Dutchman Bart Jansen stuffed Orville before teaming up with a radio control helicopter expert to attach propellers to each of its four paws.

 

The cat - named after pioneering aviator Orville Wright - is now a piece of artwork. The "Orvillecopter" is on show at the Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam.

 

Jansen said his creation is "half cat, half machine", and part of a visual art project to pay tribute to his pet.

 

"After a period of mourning he received his propellers posthumously," he said.

 

The Orvillecopter currently struggles to fly steadily, a problem Jansen has promised to fix.

 

"He will receive more powerful engines and larger props for his birthday. So this hopping will soon change into steady flight."

Remember it well. The acrobatic fly pasts with the Red Arrows were the stand-out moments for me.

Did you hear about the dyslexic yorkshireman who wore a catflap on his head?

"Dutchman Bart Jansen" says it all really, we know some very "different but special" people from that country.
