Skycar Flies from London to Timbuktu
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/wiltshire/7909379.stm
"A team of adventurers have returned to Wiltshire after a 4,000 mile expedition across the Sahara Desert to Timbuktu in a "flying car".
The bio-fuelled flying vehicle - known as Skycar - was designed by Dorset engineer Gilo Cardozo.
He said: "It's the first Skycar to fly over Europe to Africa. We even did a ferry trip which normally takes a car two hours - we did it in 15 minutes."
The team hopes to have it on the market with a price tag of £50,000 by 2010."
