If he'd done it with no autopilot or electronic nav-aids I'd be very impressed.
The fact that in this modern age of safety awareness a flight of this duration is made in conditions of almost comatose fatigue is highly questionable, let alone legal.
I take my hat off to him for having made a no doubt epic flught, but "broken" Alex Henshaw's record? Hell no! He bought it, with modern technology and a big chequebook. Anyone with the money and inclination could have done the same...
Chalkie's flight was impressive, certainly, but in no way compares to what AH achieved, as explained above.
His record stands.
