The Herne Bay video was talking about the South Africa flight.
I was referring to the recent awards which were for the Australia fight. The media assumed it was solo, but it wasn't and from the outset that trip was not planned as a solo flight. I speak only for The Air League which awarded a framed certificate on the basis of that flight and for the reasons given. There was no misunderstanding or question in our minds about it being solo, and thus there was no deceit on TCTs part to The Air League. We also thought it was a long and gutsy flight, but I know others have differing views about whether a "dual" flight to Australia at 95Kts is that merit worthy.
