Did anyone else see the man flying with jet powered wings on Sky news this morning?

There was quite lengthy footage of him wheeling around the sky. It took something like 5 years to develop. Austrian?

As usual with these news items they didn't answer two crucial questions to my mind anyway. Firstly how did he take off and secondly more importantly how on earth did he land?

If anyone knows please let me know. It might be onthe Sky News website on a video clip (I can't see that sort of stuff on slower than dial up)

Hope he remembered to turn the gas off before opening the shoot or there could have been a bit of a rough landing and a BBQ
