Brian,

That would be great.

A similar story was told to me by John Murrey (one of G-AWBC's pilots). He told of stronger than predicted headwinds on one of the legs ending in Bali. They thought they werent going to make it and were looking at beaches to land on. They made it to the landing field and when the filled the tanks calculated there was about 2USG left

Regards

Nigel
