A man living in a remote area of northern Queensland has won the opportunity to commute every day in his own reprint of the World War II Flying Combat aircraft, (Spitfire).
After weary of endless traffic jams and road closures, Queensland man Patrick (Patrick English) applied to the local council last year for a daily round trip from his own private airstrip to Koah and Cairns., the Australian wide area Network reported Monday. Finally, the Mareeba Shire Council agreed to Patrick's application on the 20th, but required only one round trip a day. In addition, the Parliament has introduced some mandatory requirements, such as flight time between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., and must follow a strict route, etc.
According to Patrick, who runs a company in Keynes, it takes about 45 minutes to drive in good weather from downtown to his suburban home, but if you use his reengraved version of the jet fighter, It only takes five minutes. As an engineer, Patrick spent six years building his own plane.
