I seem to remember quite a few years ago that a solar powered plane flew around the world.

So I understand. I was in Perth when a solar powered car set off across the Nullarbor n the early 1980s I have forgotten how far it got or how long the journey took. Although electrically powered vehicles are on the increase IMO we are light years from seeing solar powered passenger craft. What is currently on offer will be a rich man’s novelty for as long as Humanity can holdout.

If you want my opinion, I think they slipped up. Sadly, I never had cause to shelter beneath one, but I am sure they were both safe and effective . |

‘Gossamer 2’
Is this a development of the earlier Fetherlite model manufactured by an offshoot of Anglo-Dutch company Reckitt Benckiser and initially developed in London under the oversight of the London Rubber Company and British Latex Products Ltd. Or, is it the other way around?
