Rupert, 1970
 

'Rupert' was published by The Daily Express in 1970. It contains two sets of folding instructions, for 'Rupert's Paper Lightship' and 'Rupert's Mystery Bird'. The Lightship is a three part design, of which the third part. the light, is a Waterbomb. The final part of the instructions suggest that the design can be made from a single strip of paper. Since neither design is known from any other source, or attributed to any other paperfolder, it seems likely that these designs are by Alfred Bestall.
