Clear the runway, its magnificent Cliff in his flying machine.
Cliff, 42, set to work in his backyard at Sawston, Cambridgeshire, to get the thing off the drawing board and into the air. First he tried the hang-gliding principle but he was too impatient to depend on wind and weather. Fitting a rudder and a motorbike engine and propeller he was ready for take-off in his cliffhanger.
