Less like ‘Black Hawk down’ and more like ‘Lazy Bones up!’ with this fabulous facsimile Helicopter Alarm Clock. In ‘park’ mode its large back-lit LCD clearly displays the current time [12 or 24-hour format] plus day of the week and the date. The fun begins immediately the alarm time is reached when the rotor blade begins to spin accompanied by a very loud and distinctive ‘whirring’ sound that only a helicopter engine can make. Once full take-off power is reached, the rotor heads skywards – with the alarm now on full volume and the only way to stop this infernal noise is to physically return the rotor to its base station which means you have to get out of bed and search it and because the rotor is mounted on a knuckle, it’s impossible to predict where it will land. Powered by 4 x AA batteries or a 6-volt mains adaptor [neither included], we really put the ‘Hell’ in ‘Helicopter’ with this one!
