    I see one person who was up at the start of the race.

    You're hardcore, Roman.

    Its all about time, that zulu thing etc. Yep, going HARD CORE rtwr style. When it's dark over here it'll be light over there. Plus, a big plus... My Co-Pilot sleeps. Once the sleep schedule gets totally f___k_d it will be a good run. Planning on running this "zulu" style.

    Do not have the baton but rather a whole boatload (325 lbs) of Kobe Steak, Maine Lobster, 20 yr old Scotch & dry ice to keep it at temp while in the middle latitudes. The reason? As penalty for not knowing how to do simple math to convert zulu time to local. Made the mistake many weeks ago and never checked it. Even put it in the MS Office calendar & suite so it would remind me...... Of the wrong time. Due to crappy a__ planning I must take off now. :-( ( Will definitely hear you on TS)

    This is my official start - Departing Mildenhall for places unknown eastward.

    What a way to start! Reminiscent of the Cape to Cape. Put a boat load of time in practicing nearly flawlessly. Then... On the first leg crash. The rubber didn't even get to taste the ground, but rather it tastes the metal that protects it from the elements. ( A hanger )

    Off to Iran. Refreshed nicely after a couple of cups of Turkish/Iraqi Coffee (zing/Zing) with another 2 in the cockpit thermos.

    Made it to Allahabad .. The 1st part was completely featureless.. Winds were good, a few clouds here and there. Going to stop for some Vindaloo, a trip to the head and a refuel. Then upward.

    Are you absolutely sure you want a vindaloo before embarking on a long flight in an aircraft without the facilities to handle the aftermath??!

    Made it to Rangoon/Yangon, Mingeladon (VYYY) , Republic of the Union of Myanmar . The eyes are on fire, will report to the Grosvenor House via radio in the morning with the tea. There is a cot with my name on it in one of those nicely appointed shacks.

    The Spartan is one of my favorites. It was right behind the Gee Bee on the short list of what I was wanting to fly to Melbourne in.

    Good show so far Roman!

    Made it to Seletar. (WSSL) Pretty uneventful except for the moderate to heavy chop (need to clean the cockpit ) right when the sun was rising & the inevitable haze (visibility) in major towns of Singapore.

    Thanks Robert!

    Arrived safely in PARADISE! Rambang field (WADR) There's a shortwave radio operator here so will report to Grosvenor in the morning.. Time to get a good dinner of fresh fish & hang out with the natives. Have 4 1/2 hours of daylight left and am going to take full advantage of it.. This place is so nice might not even continue! Gilligan style... A 3 hour tour.

    It WAS you that I passed going the other way. About 80nm south of Singapore. I waved, but got no response.

    Guess I did miss you going the other way.. Here you go -

    Leaving the exotic aerodrome of Rambang (WADR) in the early morning for place(s) ESE of here.. Maybe OZ? Really going to miss this place, will be back. The natives are so nice & welcoming.. Look what they did! Stayed up all night providing runway lighting for any incoming aircraft!
