Sorry Dick, it was a bit cryptic because I didn't know the details.
Apparently Ben Buckley is heading off in a Pioneer 300? RA-Aus aircraft in a flight that involves Antartica and the Faulkland islands. Unfortunately I don't know much more! He said some time ago after his Victoria to NZ trip direct in a Light-Wing 582 2-stroke Rotax, this proposed trip looks almost like a breeze. He has sold his 172 and "upgraded" to the Pioneer.
