Amateur Radio Enthusiast Called in to Join Hunt for Space Teddy:

Space Teddy has been found safe and well - but he's stuck up a tree and faces a night alone in the bush before he can be rescued. The fluffy would-be astronaut became lost in dense bush on Waiheke Island this afternoon after plummeting back to Earth when his attempt to set a new world record failed. The weather conditions were perfect for students at Forrest Hill Primary to launch the stuffed toy, dubbed Space Teddy, into space today. Space Teddy landed in dense bush, 50m off the road on Waiheke Island an hour and a half after the balloon popped. Police had been unable to find him so van Rijnsoever headed to the island to look for Space Teddy himself tonight. He was eventually located 10m up a tree in tight, dense bush in a remote part of the island after van Rijnsoever called for backup from an amateur radio enthusiast.
