I think that's a bit of a fix there, most Americans know where London is, however where England actually is on a map...
He is around 6'6, makes me think James May is over 6' as well, which explains why Hammond always looks so small.

Surely that cannot be for serious. If it is this person seriously needs some kind of therapy as they have clearly lost touch with reality.
If a truck was carrying birds (all seated on perches), and they all took off at the same time inside the truck, would it get lighter?
No, they would have to exert an equal or greater downward force to gain lift.
Newtons third law, bitch

Yes
Please show your working.

Correct, Mythbusters did a great episode on it.
face said it all.
I had to watch this video twice to believe it
Once they are air borne the lift generated by the wings flapping does not all necessarily result in a downwards force on the bottom of the truck bed surely .. unless it is an air tight container without any other eddy currents inside.
They achieved the same outcome with the taking off with a remote control helicopter in the same truck/container. No difference in weight when it was landed to having taken off.

The truck or the force of the truck on the road.
I stil can't believe that after thinking it over (as it is essentially one of those questions, similar to the "what do cows drink?" ones) people still don't believe that a plane can take off on a conveyor belt...

Depends on the plane and the conveyor belt
A normal Jet plane and a normal conveyor belt...
I wasn't the first person to mention it!
But I still don't understand how people don't realise it!
