The Blurb

Plug and fly

Saturday 3 July 2010 7.58 am

Have you heard about those environmentally friendly electric cars? The ones that you plug in in your garage overnight, then drive 40 miles at 40 mph before running out of juice five metres short of the electric socket? Well, for fellow fans of such things, here's an idea that could solve all our aviation pollution problems. Just don't forget to pull the plug out.

This silly little entry comes as a distraction from a week where both England and Andy Murray (not to be confused) left their respective tournaments. You've got to laugh, haven't you?

Actually, it turns out that there really is an electric plane. But it uses solar cells. Much better idea. It would have done its first night flight this week if it weren't for lack of a spare part. C'est la vie.
