Rutan Proteus heading for Darwin
A canard homage site I frequent advises me the Proteus is heading for Darwin for some research works, should be getting there about now. Anybody know anything about it? Mike Melvill on board apparantly

Re: Rutan Proteus heading for Darwin
Came back to Cairns the same day, something about the weather being too rough enroute. Sitting on the ground here in cairns, no news on when it will depart.
