Chocolate 'plane took off

Artist Bruno Rouly made a 1/10th scale model of an Airbus 330, making it 6 metres long and needing nearly a tonne of chocolate. He exhibited it at a Christmas market in Arras (Nord pas de Calais) over the weekend, but on going to collect it on its trailer yesterday there it was, gone. Together with other items in the trailer over 300 hours of work had just melted away (not literally we understand).
M Rouly had made the items for exhibition in the annual Salon du Chocolat in Beaune and says he and some colleagues will now work night and day (travailler d'arrache-pied -  flat out) to take part in the show.
Police are looking for some very sticky fingered thieves.
