    Down and parked at VIAL in charming Allahabad, India, located on the confluence on the Ganges and the Yamuna rivers and the second compulsory checkpoint on the sky-road to Melbourne. My co-pilot, "Moose" Johansson, tells me the world's first official airmail delivery left Allahabad on February 18, 1911. How he knows these things I'll never understand.....

    Here we are, safe and sound at VECC in Kolkata, India, formerly known as Calcutta, on the east bank of the River Hooghly. With a surrounding population exceeding 15 million, there are plenty of folks out there to meet. Moose says he knows a little place that serves up a delightful "macher jhol" (fish curry) with rice, and to top it off a tantalizing "mishti doi" (sweet yoghurt) for dessert. Hey, what a guy......

    Made it all the way to VYYY in magnificent Yangon, Myanmar. Also known as Rangoon and the former capital of Burma, I'm told the climate here is "tropical monsoon". However, Moose heartily assures me that November marks the end of the rainy season. Still, I wonder where I stowed that umbrella.....

    Down at WSSL in the sovereign city-state of Singapore, the smallest nation in Southeast Aisa and the third compulsory checkpoint stop on our journey to Melbourne. Looks like we made it just in time too, with the sun rapidly setting and a whopper of a storm brewing. Moose and I need to hurry up and get this baby tied down before it gets any darker cause there's certainly a feel of rain in the air.....

    Skyking53 is down at WIHH. I must regretfully inform the committee however, that the landing did not go well this time and a crash did occurred at that time. Both pilots are fine and I believe the damage can successfully be repaired in short order. Cause of incident has not yet been determined beyond poor piloting. Repairs will commence immediately with the goal of returning to the air ASAP.

    Regretfully,
    Skyking53

    Landed in one piece (and not in a crumpled mass either!!) at WATT in Kaupang, Indonesia. Pressing on for Australia shortly. A light is beginning to glow at the end of the tunnel.....

    "G'day Mates!" Have arrived safely at Compulsory Checkpoint #4, YPDN, in the "Land Down Under", Darwin, Australia. A little cloudy on the way in, but all went well. Just got here but am anxious to move on already as Melbourne is not that far away (relatively speaking).....

    Don't know for sure what happened. Computer crashed and forced me to abort this flight, however there was no record in my Duenna output folder except the SystemLog.TXT for 2009-11-16. Will try and fly this leg again later.....

    I would like to take a moment and thank the Committee and those involved in the 2009 London To Melbourne Challenge and say what a fantastic job! Unfortunately, engine problems and the inability to complete repairs on a timely basis took me out of the race at Darwin (actually a major computer crash), I had an enjoyable time nonetheless. And while I was never in contention as far as the actual race was concerned I did accomplish the goals which I originally set for myself, that being the correct use of the Duenna system and proper reporting.

    Thanks again to those involved in this venture. I look forward to next year and some serious racing. Job well done guys!
