Skycar Adventure to air on Channel 4 tonight!
The film “The Flying Car” documenting the Skycar expedition from London to Timbuktu will be aired on Channel 4 tonight at 10pm as part of its Dare Devils series - a number of visually stunning films following some of the world’s most extreme individuals, who risk their lives pushing themselves to the physical and mental limits of human capability.
Gilo was last seen on Channel 4 flying a revolutionary paramotor over Mount Everest with Bear Grylls. This time he teams up with seasoned adventurer and former SAS soldier Neil Laughton as he risks his neck testing his latest invention: the world’s first practical flying car.
It’s an ambitious undertaking and the pair are on a tight deadline. On the eve of their departure and in front of the world’s press they are forced into an embarrassing admission. Not only has their practical flying car not been tested to any height, the Civil Aviation Authority has decided not to allow them to fly anywhere in British skies; and so they must resort to using the Channel ferry to get them started and across to France. But there are sterner tests ahead.
How on earth will they cross the Straits of Gibraltar, or the vast expanse of the Sahara desert in their quest to prove the worth of the world’s first practical flying car? And will they make it to Timbuktu?
Daredevils :: The Flying Car will be aired on Tuesday 20th October, Channel 4 at 10pm (UK time).
