26、e go back to the Ancient Greek period with various deals around the Mediterranean area. Unlike the trade in more decorative or luxury goods, however, few written records remain.

33、ly a micro light, as well as other types of aircraft, at a local flying club. Interviewer: Tell us about the micro light Brian: Well, its like a very small aircraft, which is powered by an engine. The thing with micro light flying is that its the closest you can get to actually feeling like a bird b
34、ecause youre out in the open air, theres no cabin or anything around you. Interviewer: Oh I see .

35、bike? Brian: You dont lean really, you actually have to push. So you have to be quite fit especially for a long flight. Interviewer: Which brings us on to the other thing which I know about you and that is that youve recently broken a world record. Tell us about that. Brian: Well, it involved flying
36、 over four continents because I left from London and flew over Europe, Africa and Asia on the way to Australia. No one had ever done that before in a micro light. Interviewer: The organisation for a long flight must be very difficult indeed, Brian. Surely you didnt do it all on your own? Brian: Yes,

40、Yes; I had a two-way VHF radio, but the range of that was only 70 miles, so there was a lot of time when I was out of radio contact with anybody. I crossed thousands of miles of desert and mountain which is quite dangerous, of course, should anything go wrong, and 5,000 miles of the trip was over th
41、e sea, which is even more so. Interviewer: So how did you find your way? Brian: Well, I had a navigation system which uses satellite signals. It was really easy to use and, I must say, very accurate. I couldnt say I had any problems in knowing where I was or which way I was going. Interviewer: And w
42、hat sort of protection did you have? I mean, you werent just dangling in the cold air, were you? Brian: Yeah, I just wear a warm flying suit and warm clothes underneath. The coldest was going over the Alps, it was minus 28 degrees there, because I was quite high up. But actually feeling tired was my
43、 real problem because it was often dark by the time I landed and I was leaving again at first light. I was never hungry because I was met by such great hospitality everywhere I went.
