the pilots were Chris Copple in the Ikarus and Mark Jackson in the Quick, both instructors at MainAir Sports. they landed back at Barton at approx 16.30 after their record setting trip. they performed a fantastic close formation fly-past along 27 prior to landing and were warmly received and congratulated by a small group of friends and press.
i think you will agree, a great achievement. Chris Copple intends to do the same trip non-stop in the near future.
Congratulations to both pilots.
