Around this time a year ago, Bristol entrepreneur Johnny Palmer took on his biggest challenge yet. The Warleigh Weir owner came up with the madcap notion to drive a Boeing 727 down the M5 motorway - and pulled it off.
People across our region turned out in droves to watch the spectacle unfold. It was quite the event and all so Mr Palmer could have an authentic office for his Brislington business, Pytch.
The whole drama was "absolute chaos", but a worthwhile publicity stunt that left the name "Johnny Palmer" on everyone's lips that day. For a cool £100,000, he now has one of the world's most unique boardrooms, reports Gloucestershire Live.
