01 Sep 2010

Save to de.icio.us

STEVE NOUJAIM has succeeded in his attempt to set a new speed record for the London - Cape Town - London route.

Steve's new record is 3 days 11 hours and 16 minutes, breaking the record set in 1939 by aviation pioneer Alex Henshaw, who flew the 12,754 mile route in 4 days, 10 hours and 16 minutes.

In May 2009, South African pilot Chalkie Stobbart set a record for the route going Cape Town - London - Cape Town of 3 days, 15 hours and 17 minutes.
