Here's something to ask Santa for this Christmas, your own little aeroplane the ICON A5. Perfect for nipping to the shops for a pint of milk or even the school run.
2 Seats, Bet it would struggle to lift more than 1...But I definately want one.
One thing that worries me however, is the way the wings are folded out. Looks to me to be quite a weak spt, in such a small plane. Regardless of speed etc, it will still experience the full brunt of Aero and thermo dynamics while flying... Hope nothing happens to it..
Oligarch Buys £200 Million Super-Yacht, Then Sails Off to Collect Monet Paintings Built by German Company That Constructed Battleship Bismarck, the Pride of Nazi Fleet LUCY COCKCROFT / The Telegraph (UK) 16jul2008
A £200 million super-yacht has set sail on its maiden voyage to Norway, where its Russian billionaire owner stopped off to collect three Claude Monet paintings.
The futuristic vessel, which has enough room to sleep 56, is even bigger and more expensive than the pride of Roman Abramovich's fleet, Pelorus, which cost only £100 million.
It was built for a fellow Russian oligarch, Andrey Melnichenko, 37, who is worth £4.6 billion and was ranked 172 on the Forbes list of the world's richest people.
The yacht, named "A" after his catwalk model wife Aleksandra Nikolic, docked in the Norwegian port of Kristiansand, where three paintings by the French Impressionist artist Monet were loaded on board, amid an impressive security operation.
The trip came just weeks after one of Monet's famous Water Lilies paintings 'Le bassin aux nympheas' sold at Christies auction house in London for £41 million, a record price for the artist at auction.
It was bought by an unnamed buyer and its whereabouts today are unknown, raising speculation Mr Melnichenko may have been the buyer.
Mr Melnichenko is understood to have travelled to the Scandinavian country on board his 400ft super yacht because it is outside the EU and exempt from import tax laws.
He took the trip on board his 400ft super yacht, which features a swimming pool, a large master suite, six luxury cabins for up to 14 guests and enough room for 42 crew members.
Other details of the interior have been kept strictly secret by its German builders Blohm and Voss, who constructed the battleship Bismarck, the pride of the Nazi fleet in World War Two.
But it is rumoured to have helicopter hanger and two 30ft long speed boats which are kept in hatches on both sides of the hull.
Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich owns four super-yachts, the most impressive of which is the 377ft Pelorus, 23ft smaller than "A".
However, he has ordered a fifth boat, to be named Eclipse, from the same company as Mr Melnichenko. It is believed to be 482ft - the world's third largest yacht.
Mr Melnichenko was a founder of worldwide MDM Bank and went on to become its president from 1997 to 2001.
He also invested in a number of Russian industrial businesses, including Siberian coal company SUEK and mineral company Eurochem.
For a new art project, the designer Martin Postler has investigated the history, the aesthetics and the lethal seductiveness of the Kalashnikov. He has freed the AK-47 from its terrible capacity to injure and kill by deconstructing it into a paper model construction set. At the end of the construction process each person can decide if they would like to hang their own AK-47 on the wall, paint it, customize it with stickers or simply burn it. Then ultimately this AK-47 thankfully remains a piece of paper.
Pigs get slapmarked with what looks like a ping pong bat covered in spikes dipped in ink. They have a thick layer of skin and would never have felt that tattoo!!
