Radio Amateur's spectacular English Channel crossing

In a scene reminiscent of the animated movie 'Up', Radio Amateur Jonathan Trappe, KJ4GQV tied himself to 54 helium ballons and floated across the English Channel.

Tied to an assortment of red, green, yellow, blue and white balloons the Radio Ham flew from a field at the Kent Gliding Club, near Ashford, and landed in a farmer’s vegetable patch a few miles from Dunkirk.
