Felix wings it over Dover - smh.com.au: "Looking a little like Batman, an Austrian stuntman wearing a carbon wing today became the first person to skydive across the English Channel.



Felix Baumgartner jumped out of a plane at 9,000 metres above Dover, England, wearing the specially constructed wing and flew towards France at up to 200 km/h before parachuting into hills above Calais.



'I made it, which is great,' he told reporters on landing.



'It's pretty cold up there. I still can feel nothing,' said the self-styled 'God of the Skies', who started parachuting as a teenager before taking up the extreme sport of BASE jumping."
