The Worthing International Birdman 2009 was held on Saturday the 22nd and Sunday 23rd August, a fanatstic weekend was had by all as thousands thronged the Worthing and the seafront to watch the Birdmen take to the skies and fly for glory. This gallery is a celebration of all those fantastic frollics, endeavours and charities that people supported; and of course all those who did take part.

This year the jackpot of £30,000 was narrowly missed out on by a mere 13 centimetres (just over 5 inches!) so all eyes on the 2010 contest, will someone hit the magic jackpot mark?
