Sounds as though you are following on from Richard Reid 'Dick' Bentley who flew G-EBSO in 1927 from London to Capetown. The 1st solo flight in a light aircraft from England to Cape Town. The aircraft was a de Havilland dh60X Moth with a A.D.C. Cirrus II engine.
He departed Croydon on 1st Sept 1927 arriving in Capetown on 28th Sept, at the time the longest solo flight in a single engine aircraft. He then flew the aircraft back to the UK with his wife and in 1928 flew the same aircraft back out to South Africa!
The Tiger Club aerobatic trophy is named in his honour, as it was given to the Club by his widow.
