Fresh-ish from the GE site, an announcement;
It is with great regret that we have to inform all of our supporters that Expedition Global Eagle has come to an end.
As many of you will already have read or heard the aircraft was subject to flood damage whilst in India, this damage is not catastrophic and could be fixed, time would be against the team to complete any further journey so it was decided to end the expedition now, with an option to maybe resurrect the World Trip at a later date.
The official statement will be available shortly containing full details.
Crikey, that was quick, getting the autogyro to Delhi for an engineering inspection. Or was it a phone call job?
This backs up something I was told in Boroughbridge only yesterday, shame I didn't say it here, perhaps some attempt of repair would have been made.
Never mind;
As the faithful kept telling me,
"It's better to have tried and failed, than never to have tried at all."

Statement of the day; "....with an option to maybe resurrect the World Trip at a later date."
