Is it possible that the C1 took on enough fuel for the flight and then flew overhead London to start the record attempt? That would explain this refuelling then. When you say 'SW apps', where exactly would that be?
We've found another statement that also points towards a refuelling for the BZN-ASI sector but as the FAI certificates clearly say 'without' I took this as having been confused with the other non-stop flight.
