Crossing the Channel by chair

and helium filled balloons.
What a ride!
Others have done something similar by tying a number of balloons to a chaise lounge, but this guy had a destination and from what he said, clearance to fly across the channel.

I forget the comic who was doing a gag on this, something like:
