Early April, 2011, Jeremy Rowsell (39) and Jim Hazelton (79), both qualified pilots, will attempt to fly around the world in the record-breaking footsteps of pioneering aviators such as Amelia Earhart, Nancy Bird-Walton, C.W.A Scott and Charles Kingsford Smith.
On the first leg they'll be attempting to emulate Kingsford Smith's 1928 trans-Pacific trip in a single-engine Beechcraft 36. "Smithy," as he was known, gained fame as the first man to fly from America to Australia in a three-engined monoplane called the Southern Cross. He later set the record for a Sydney to London trip before disappearing off the coast of Burma in 1935.
