Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic is to conduct a trial using 13 of its planes which could cut aviation fuel use and slash carbon dioxide emissions.

By towing its Boeing 747-400 aircraft to take-off areas at London airports during December it said it could save up to two tonnes of fuel per flight.

I was proposing to use my old 1986 MiniMetro. Sadly I suspect that admirable vehicle is now on the scrapheap. Decaying... 😂
