OH dear, another own goal!
From Cape Town on Tracey and her team had to improvise the navigation and flight planning for the entire trip along Africa.
Just like those intrepid aviation pioneers she is attempting to "emulate". So why is this a problem? Isn't it one of the responsibilities of the Pilot In Command and not a member of a back up team?
Up until now I admired EG for doing a great job of rebuilding the aircraft, flying it on long flights and (literally) keeping his head down.

It's a pity this is overshadowing the memorial for Mary Ellis RIP, a real aviation heroine https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-45602283
