See Action Man launched into space (almost)

An Action Man astronaut doll is missing after being launched into near space.

The original 1966 doll, belonging to Rob Wisdom, from Essex, was launched in Leicestershire on Sunday to celebrate Action Man's 50th anniversary.

It travelled 19 miles (30km) before falling back to earth. A tracker device led the team to a Northamptonshire field but "Major Bob Tom", his space capsule and camera were gone.

Organisers of the launch have appealed for anyone who has seen it to come forward.
