A Bakewell pudding sent into the sky by a Derbyshire school has been retrieved after it went missing.
The pudding was attached to a balloon and launched towards space by pupils at St Anselm's School in Bakewell in June. It was found at the weekend in an asparagus field in Lincolnshire by a dog walker.
Engineer Nick McCloud, who helped the students with the technical bits said he'd "given up hope" of finding it again but was delighted to get the call.
Image source, St.Anselm's SchoolThe pudding is still intact in its foil tray and Mr McCloud told BBC Radio Derby there was a volunteer at the school who wanted to try it.
Explaining why they initially did the launch he said: "We all do serious work for a living and sometimes you have to have a bit of fun.
"And we need more young people to come into the profession and the best way is to do projects like this, and when things go wrong, like we lose the pudding at 50,000ft, well C'est la vie."
