In Kulusuk Met the fantastic Peter Wilson that I got to know during my adventure flight CapetoCape back in 2015.
We used the same “dispatcher” Eddie Gould that unfourtunately passed away last year.

Peter approached me and said; “we know each other!
I recognise your voice. Listened to your lecture at the LAA ralley in England a few years ago”!

Just amazing who you might bump
Into on a remote place like those. Whats the chances!? :-)

You might wanna follow Peter on his present around the world in helicopter. He has done it before and and is presently crossing the Atlantic. He has a tracker so possible to follow he wereabouts;

Managed to assemble 2 minicats today for test sailing tomorrow!
Lots of ice though and polarbears in the area but that comes with the territory.

My stake in this is to join for sailing tomorrow and also check facilities for possibly bring my Moth here next year for flying open cockpit biplane DH60.
Last time this was done was in 1932 by the “British Arctic Air Route Expedition”.
We are tracking their doings and not really certain what this will bring. A bit of an adventure I must say!

One of my former heroes, Charles Lindbergh with his solo fligh across the Atlantic back in 1927.

His engagement in ”America First” is an embarrassing legacy to say the least. Fighting to keep USA out of WW2.
“We cannot win this war for England regardless how much assistance we send…”.
Have we heard this lately from Trump, Elon Musk and others!?

Give the video the 2 minutes! 🙂

Charles Lindbergh may have been known as a legendary pilot, but he had another, more sinister position in American History: as a N**i sympathizer and spokesp...

I do support French products and more important French way of standing up for basic human rights!
Recent events is just a display of how dreadful we humans can act against eachother.
There is no excuse whatsoever for that!

To all my dear Muslim friends(I do not really see you as muslims but rather as fiends but that is another story!), I cannot but encourage you to take a stand against the small fanatic fractions that murder and commit violence in the name of Your religion.
Some call it “Islamofascism” and perhaps a good thing to put a name to it making it easier to reject them who do not represent You!

Please do not sit silent!

Vive la France!
