 The chocolate powered lorry driver has a new plan:

A British adventurer said he plans to emulate his heroes from the movie Back To The Future by flying to China powered by rubbish.

Andy Pag has just arrived back on UK soil with John Grimshaw after they drove to Timbuktu in a lorry powered by fuel that began life as chocolate.

Mr Pag, 34, from Croydon, south London, is already planning his next adventure, in which he hopes to drive to China using biofuel and take flights in a paramotor, or powered paraglider, using an experimental carbon-neutral fuel made from landfill waste.

He described it as a bit like Back To The Future where they put banana skins in at one end to make it fly.

And claims real technology is a little bit like to classic big screen science fiction.

In Back To The Future mad scientist 'Doc' Emmett Brown fuels the time machine car with banana skins and other rubbish before it starts time travelling.
