Hi Guys, Good news at last! Yesterday the trikes were cleared through customs and we collected them from the BAX Global depot.
An ingenious method of transport was used to get the trikes to the airfield. Both trikes and wings on a pick-up an trailer……
A worrying drive for us all esp John following in the car!! We counted our blessings when the trailer came off when leaving the airfield after unloading the trikes, lucky escape….
Yesterday we also managed to rig trikes and run up the engines. We hope to head North today when the fog clears. More soon. J,J,J and I.

In the diary you write that you will set off north “When the fog clears.” Is this a weather feature or a physiological manifestation caused by over-celebration at having the trikes in your possession? Whatever, good luck with the rest of the trip.

Good luck in your new adventure. Best wishes from all at South-West Microlights, Bunbury, West Aust. Let’s hope your first landing on this trip is less dramatic than your first day AroundOZ. What are you planning for your next encore?
