What an adventure that would be.

Then of course there's our very own Maurice Kirk.

This guy is a hoot. "Race rules required Kirk to carry
a radio and a GPS receiver, which could fix his position
by satellite. He preferred his old school atlas, plotting
his course between "the pink bits" that once marked the
far-flung British Empire." A real ripping yarn. Why did
his daughter "get thrown off the dignitaries plane in
the Middle East"??

I have no idea. Maybe you could e-mail him! I think we'd all
like to know! :-) His e-mail's on his website:

It should also have stories about his many run-ins with the
CAA. He's also got lots of quite cheap stuff for sale.

Believe it or not, they let him fly his DH2 at Farnborough last
year! :-)

Though I've seen him around a few times, I've never plucked up
the courage to say hello.
