Yesterday Martin Bromage aged 49yrs set off from Staverton airport Gloucester shire at 10 am, one the first leg of a solo microlight flight to Australia to raise money for help4heroes. Contact was lost over the channel, a French patrol boat found his body 2 miles from Bolougne at 10pm yesterday.A tragic waste of a man just trying to help others.

I heard he'd been found, but didn't know the reason he was doing it; he was on the way to Australia I believe.
Very sad as you say Tom, especially as he was trying to raise money for others.
