In the current climate of nowt but grim and bad news all day long, isn't this just the thing to keep us all happy like. Luvlee 'Boy's Own' adventure stuff. cloud9:

Flying car? it's just a souped-up paraglider.

Not at all ~ I wish them every success (Though being followed by a large "back-up" team all the way does rather take the spirit of adventure out of it for me)

Well I wish I was with them to follow his progress.
What a damned good hoot this is. Just what we want imo. Should make headline news.
