2009 The Crew of US Airways Flight 1549
Captain Charles "Chalkie" Stobbart
Flight 1549 landed on the Hudson River thanks to the skill of Sully Sullenberger but was shared by the crew.A truly amazing aviation feat.
Chalkie Stobbart beat a 70 years record.
SAA captain Charles "Chalkie" Stobbart, 60, beat a 70-year-old aviation record by 18 hours and 59 minutes.
Stobbart flew the return trip from Cape Town to London in three days, 15 hours and 17 minutes, bringing the world record back to South Africa.
The previous record was set in 1939 by Alex Henshaw, who flew the return trip from London to Cape Town in four days, 10 hours and 16 minutes in a single-engined aircraft.
"I'm elated, and of course my head is still shaky from all the bouncing in the airplane," Stobbart said. "There were hours and hours of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror," he said, citing dust storms in the Sahara and freezing rain.
Contrast those winners to TCT and Ewald.
Like Blair and Brexit no one in the LAA or HCAP has the honesty to say we got it wrong.
If the past Master of HCAP made a mistake based on what he knew at the time then surely he could ask for the matter to be rectified. The same applies to LAA and their Bill Woodham Navigation trophy.
