I know the latest state of play Sid, here you go;

Due to the length of the Monsoon I am unable to gain permission to fly an Open Cockpit Gyro through parts of Canada and Greenland. We all have normal Mil' jobs to get back to and have to finish Global Eagle off by the end of the year. I didn't want to simply pack up and come home so I will be flying the Eagle to Sydney.
Its not what I wanted and i'm over the feeling of failure now. I've raised 17K since i've been back and we've made a few new friends in Oz. I expect to leave the UK for Delhi in mid September. Last advice from the |Air Advisor was that some bombs in Guwahati had killed 5 and injured 40 and the Monsoon in Myanmar STILL has a firm grip.

Over to you........
