Alex Henshaw and his challenge

Flying Lawyer, thanks for your report on the GAPAN evening, great pictures and links.

May I remind all that Alex Henshaw laid down a challenge; "I would challenge any pilot to fly any aircraft in the world with no more than 200 hp to the Cape and back in less time than did XF in 1939."

That is the Henshaw challenge. Whether the challenger has modern mod-cons is not the issue. London - Cape Town - London, IS the issue.

I wish any and all challengers, a safe flight.

Keep it safe. CN.
