Chief CaptainChasing the Morning Sun
After three years preparation, Worcestershire pilot and cancer survivor, Manuel Queiroz, is finally ready to take on the challenge of a lifetime to win for Britain a world speed record for solo circumnavigation of the globe - over 24,000 miles in less than 23 days in a single-engine homebuilt aircraft! As an engineer, working alone, Manuel has been responsible for carrying out all the preparation of the aircraft. As a pilot he has had to undergo all the additional training to equip himself for the many challenges involved with a long distance endurance flight. At last all is ready and the flight will start and finish at Gloucestershire Airport. Take off is scheduled for the early hours of Tuesday 28th February. You can follow Miguel's progress on his website here: http://www.chasingthemorningsun.com/
I hope he succeds! 😀
