Just finished tracking Steve Fosset's Global Flyer.

Bit of a cliffhanger for the past 18 hours as he was low on fuel.
Then virtually at the last minute before landing in the UK he called a mayday. His generator failed.
Diverted to Bournmouth for an emergency landing he burst 2 tyres on touching down.

But he made it !

Great stuff - and what a relatively efficient engine that Williams is !

27,000 miles in 72 hours.

And all the press and ground crew and Richard Branson at the wrong airport LOL !
