Mail: "Real-Life 'Rocket Man' Wearing A Jet Pack Launches From ... HMS Queen Elizabeth"

[soleil]

"A real-life rocket man wearing a jet pack launched from the Royal Navy Aircraft Carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth on a demonstration flight today.

Richard Browning - the inventor and pilot of the device - carved a graceful arc through the air from the warship, stunning a private yacht with a close fly-by.

The flight occurred while the naval vessel was moored 3 miles off the coast of Annapolis, Maryland, in the midst of a three-month war game exercise with US allies."

Great effort, pity about the coverage by the Mail's story writer:

<<...The aircraft-carrying warship saw its hold converted into a conference venue...>>

When did the Wail ever get anything significant right?

I just love the way he zooms around on that thing with his green beret on - kudos!

Also, world-wide advert for UK plc and our (still) creative engineering - rocket man and QE.

Wonder if they can get him to paint the side as he zooms round?
