BBC News – High hopes: Paraplegic pilot plans epic flight

July 19, 2010

A paraplegic pilot is preparing for a solo microlight journey from England to Australia.

Dave Sykes wants to raise funds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

The 42-year-old suffered a broken back when his motorbike was involved in a road crash in 1993.

He has compared flying to ”going on a motorbike in the sky” which makes him feel ”free”.
