John engineers a beautiful aircraft

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

John starts out suggesting that 'gravity will provide the power', so throws his first whole toilet roll up, rather than down, and misses the target. He then immediately switches to throwing down, rather than up, but misses again with his second and third toilet rolls. He then decides to try making toilet paper aeroplanes (pointing out 'the chassis, the wings' of his first plane, thereby coining the episode title). The first plane hits the toilet seat and falls on the floor, and his second attempt, a larger model, is even less successful. He then switches back to dropping whole toilet rolls again, missing every shot. In the studio, Alex reveals that he had managed to throw an entire toilet roll into a bin over an even greater distance, after they finished filming the task. However, in the task itself, he did not manage to get any paper into the toilet. He is still awarded a point for his effort, though.
