Honda reaches for the sky 

Revolutionary new ad played LIVE on TV last night
 
Honda Accord in Swindon
Swindon connection:
the first ever Honda car built in
Swindon (l) was the Honda Accord
Car manufacturer Honda took TV marketing to a whole new level last night - with a live advert played on Channel 4.
 
The advert was created to promote the new Honda Accord - which incidentally was the first Honda car produced in Swindon, more than 16 years ago.
 
The strict 3-minute live broadcast - inspired by the company's "Difficult is worth doing" slogan - saw a team of elite skydivers attempt to form the letters H, O, N, D and A in sequence.
 
And amazingly, they did it!
 
Watch the following YouTube clip to see just how it happened...
