Mr. Browning flew his own jet suit around the HMS Queen Elizabeth, and his company released a video that showed its operators working with the Royal Marines to operate from rigid inflatable boats and the Royal Navy offshore patrol ship HMS Tamar.<\/p>\n<p>Now they&#8217;re zipping around New York City showing the flag.
