CAPTION(S): Shaun McKiernan, Nicholas Farrow, his daughter Enlli and Tim Fraser Jones are to fly across the English Channel Photo ROBERT PARRY JONES
A Swiss adventurer prepared Friday to make a new attempt to fly across the English Channel using only a jet-powered wing, after postponing his bid twice due to bad weather.
He was aiming to trace the route of French inventor Louis Bleriot, who became the first person to fly across the English Channel in a plane 99 years ago, taking 37 minutes for the trip.
