To be fair to the press, I think Chalky's efforts concentrated on the flight and hardly on the press.

The tracking by Tim only came about as a late entry and in fact they were still adapting the website past Kano!

On the SA website i ve just asked if there will be a live broadcast on internet of his arrival. There too is are complaints about the lack of press, the press releases of his arrival went out this morning at 6 local. So we ll have to wait and see.

It is a lesson to be learned for all who attempt such an odyssey, a missed opportunity. Richard Brandson did not suffer from this lack of press, it s all in the preparation.

That said, I can well imagine he concentrated on the sortie itself, plenty of work there too!

Landing is expected between 1430 and 1440 Zulu today. I will post links here if there is live internet TV of the arrival expected
