He flew his Percival Mew Gull from London to Cape Town and back again in 4 days 10 hours and 16 minutes. The record has stood for nearly 70 years. The Challenge was for anyone with a 200HP or less airplane to beat this time. In May 2009, Chalkie Stobbart flew a GP4 from Cape Town to London and back in 3 days 15 hours and 17 minutes. Then, in September 2010, Steve Noujaim beat the new record with a time of 3 days 11 hours and 16 minutes - http://www.capechallenge.com/index.php Tony Smith also tried in October last year in a Glasair III, but failed - http://www.thecaperun.co.uk/flight_diary.html.
