Brian Milton is a born adventurer.
His first major expedition was in 1968 when he drove a battered Austin 7 Ruby across the Sahara Desert to meet his fiancée!!
Ever since he has combined a career as a TV presenter and financial journalist with a series of incredible airborne adventures around the world.
In 1998 he become the first person to fly a microlight around the world, a feat that earned him the Britannia Trophy, one of the world's greatest aviation awards.
However one of his jaunts, an attempt to cross the Atlantic non-stop by microlight, was dramatic for all the wrong reasons and didn't quite go as planned.
