A kickboxing champion is attempting to complete a marathon while pulling a 1.25-tonne aeroplane for charity.
Carl Thomas, 35, from Stockport, started dragging the Cessna up and down the airfield at Elvington, near York, on Wednesday evening, reaching a top speed of around 2mph.
Before the attempt, Mr Thomas said: “You cannot really train for this, but I have been pulling my car up and down in an empty car park.
“I’ve got to do it in 24 hours so I cannot take a break, I’ll not be sleeping so I will be pretty rough.”
He said: “I’ll have a crazy level of exhaustion, but I’ve got a good support team and they will keep me going.”
Mr Thomas is undertaking 10 charity challenges and hopes to raise £1 million over 10 years.
