Gee, that bears some serious thought, Dick.
I had hoped that Lang Kidby could bring the Vimy replica down for the occasion - but a race for electric aircraft - over that route?
That's a whole new ball-game. Bring it on!

It might be remembered, though, that one third of the competitors suffered fatal crashes largely because of technology limitations.
An electric aircraft durability trial in 2019 would be a worthy parallel (hopefully avoiding incidents).

Now, I wonder if the AWM would lend me McIntosh & Parer's DH9 for the event?
