    I found Carnavon out in the high plataeu of the Northern Cape, and crossed FACN at 2:07 into the flight. Wolseley NDB has popped up about 10 degrees off to my right (I've drifted slightly due to those strong NW cross-winds), so that's my final course correction. On schedule for arrival in Cape Town at about 3:25.

    Down at FAYP, but I broke the gear on touch-down, trying to force a landing. Grrr!

    Never mind, I'll take the 1 hour penalty, get out alive, and head for the bar...

    Enjoyed the flight, and really enjoyed the event - thanks to the organising team!

    Well, no one can accuse you of not ending with a bang! In all seriousness though, congratulations on finishing the race!

    Great run, Martin. Navigation, perseverance, airmanship, and speed.

    You have really mastered the Percival. Pretty soon, at the bar we'll be talking about Martin's Mew! Until Gunter arrives in town...

    Well done Martin! Well, except for that last landing that is, hehe. Beers are on Austin. That's what I heard anyway.
