An eccentric is trying to fly the channel with two planks strapped to his arms as wings 50kgs of fuel powering mini jet engines, from todays picture in the Daily Telegraph he is a scary likeness of Former Chairman Pat'.
Does he have a double life?
Is he seeking excitement of a new and different kind?
Sadly the "Web Telegraph" does not show the mug shot which is in the printed edition.
