Yeah he did, and he reminds me every time I see him. He gently sidles up beside me and very quietly whispers "418" Then just as quietly says "miles........ not kilometres".
Sometimes it's difficult to hate someone you admire so much.

If I recall correctly, this flight was on 15th February 1968. His turning point was possibly Mount Bryan - a little further even than Burra. It was a very good flight by Geoff - It may have been written up in AG? I was in the air on the same day. It was one of the best XC days I have ever encountered, and I should have aimed further than I did, but a 300km triangle seemed like a fair challenge at the time with a retrieve crew engaged in other activities which would have meant a long wait in a hot paddock if it didn't turn out. Happily it did. I think Sue Martin may have also set a record on the same day, but then it was all a long time ago now.................
