Do write and forward your nomination!
However thats what all journalists do. Having read the ongoing posts I suspect that Mike Flynn is working to a slightly different agenda. The truth has been out for ages but as prosecutor, judge and jury he is intent - for whatever reason - in totally destroying her life and reputation. I really cannot accept that action is either gentlemanly of correctb in our modern society.

Thanks.

I would imagine that MK would tell you to stick your award where the sun doesn't shine. As you know, he doesn't suffer fools gladly.
Two weeks in a cub to Kenya - slow? What about 3 months from Cape to the UK in a Stearman? - supported all the way with a chase-plane for navigation.
He probably will!
They were making a film and it wasn't a race!

It appears every one has been well funded and the pilots have been well connected.
So my question is has anyone done it without major sponsors,funding and fame?
The only one can find is paraplegic Dave Sykes and he does not even warrant a wiki entry!
TheAir League gave Dave an award which he received from Prince Phillip
