Guy Martin is in a new Channel 4 documentary (Image: Channel 4) Guy Martin: Top Gun, airing on Channel 4 this Sunday, features the former motorbike racer constructing a jet engine in his shed. His aim is to comprehend the technology's original inventor, Sir Frank Whittle. Given the significant impact of jet travel on climate change, Guy seeks less harmful alternatives before embarking on a journey to the Swiss Alps to pilot a fighter jet through the mountains.
Guy's adventurous life and fascination with motors began at the tender age of 12. As a youngster, he was captivated by engines, often dismantling lawnmowers to discover ways to enhance their speed. While serving his apprenticeship as a lorry mechanic, he began racing motorbikes during his leisure time.
At just 18, he relocated to Ireland to join Team Racing, eventually becoming a well-known figure in motorsport. The 42-year-old from Grimsby, Lincolnshire, was named Guy in honour of Guy Gibson of No.617 Squadron RAF, reports Grimsby Live .
