Skycar Expedition in the Charente

Our quiet corner of the French countryside is having an exciting couple of days as the Skycar Expedition from London to Tombouctou passes through the Charente. Read the details from here and press reports here. Unfortunately the car suffered a breakdown between Poitiers and Angouleme when a bolt failed and damaged the main drive belt for the rear mounted propeller. Repairs are underway and it is hoped will be completed later today allowing the expedition to continue on its way towards Spain and the Straits of Gibralter. I took the following pictures of the task in hand this morning and hope to have some pictures of the finished job later this afternoon.
