Yves Rossy makes first solo flight across the English Channel using a single, jet-propelled wing.

The daredevil pilot had been forced to abandon his attempt on Wednesday and Thursday due to poor weather.

On Friday Rossy was finally able to fulfil his ambition.

With a light wind on his back he reached the iconic White Cliffs of Dover in 13 minutes covering the 35 kilometre trip at an average speed of 200 kilometres per hour.
