A fine sunny day dawned for the 10,000 Paper Plane event Ross Coulter the artist behind the project was a little more nervous that I’ve seen him in the past. The fact that he hadn’t shaved, was a tell tale sign bearing witness to the fact, he’d had a late night on Sunday getting all the gear in place.
There was a lot of waiting around, as on any film set, but we proceeded into the Latrobe Reading Room around 1300. My Squadron Leader exercise firm discipline of silence over her crew. As the planes were launched and we were 100% silent the sound of them whooshing in the air, crashing into the walls and landing on the floor of the great dome was magical.
