? Si Barber 07739 472 922 Peter Williamson of Merrivale Model Village is showcasing his new ?20,000 attraction for the Summer season in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, UK. This year it is a seven foot satellite rocket produced by MASA (Merrivale Aeronautics & Space Administration). The test launch of the Merri 1, however did not go to plan as the six-inch hand made residents of the model village held an impromptu angry demonstration against the launch of the rocket as they believe it will be used to spy on them and may disturb the legendary Yeti that lives in their mountain. At one point the demonstration became violent and protesters broke through the fence before being arrested by military police.
