Thanks to Richard Currie for drawing our attention to this upcoming event and associated "earth rounder" - well at least half way around the world - flight to be conducted in May 2018 by a 100hp Eurofox 2 seat light sports aircraft.
2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the formation of the RAF from the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service, to create the first independent air force in the world. At its peak, the RAF was truly a global force, resulting in a rich historical legacy over a wide geographical area. The RAF 100 Great Britain to New Zealand expedition aims to visit a large number of significant former RAF locations on a 13,000 mile route following the path paved by the aeronautical trail blazers of the 1920s and 30s.
