Maybe this is what RL thought was the first:
I remember an episode of Dave Allen at Large that I saw many, many years (23 perhaps) ago that had a Daedelus/Icarus/Davinci kind of guy running through a field, flapping his arms to which were attached giant bird-like wings, and this guy comes running out of the bushes, puts a pistol to the wannabe-birdman's head and declares "Take me to Cuba!".
