They made it! Impressive stuff.



Website.

It certainly is very impressive and Chris and the team are to be congratulated on their achievement.

As a potential Eurofox owner I was very interested in their journey and managed to prevent them getting through Western Australia without joining up and saying "G'day"






(Yes, I know the photography by me is not up to scratch but trying to fly any sort of formation one handed, while taking photos with the other is not absolutely ideal.......hence my same way, same day positioning)

Well done chaps. Carry on.

Very cool, well done!

Well done Potey and the rest of your team; you may as well keep on going all the way around now

Shouldn't they be flying the other way up.

They are. It's just that the camera's upside down as well.

Ah....that's ok then. I thought it was a conspiracy.

Well done to all involved.

That's the easy bit; it's getting the prop to spin in the opposite direction that's a pain.

NZ media report, also with a fun video.

The second video has the ex-SMO from RAF Marham - another keen GA pilot and now living down under

Splendid all round.


I did have to smile at another news item headlined in the middle of that report:

"Royal NZ Air Force plane lands safely"

Excellent achievement by crew, ground crew, sponsors and of course the non human star of the show. The Eurofox. Well done all.

My word - looks like he did it solo

I'll get me coat

By SOLO do you mean on his own?
