Red Bull - Latest News

The lovely lady here is from Red Bull and has just drawn our number. The other face is our Captain for the contest. He is Roy Dixon, and apart from being an old school friend of Mike's and mine, he is a Captain with Emirates. Roy flies a Boeing 777 as his day (and night) job, and a Pumpaplane for fun! Roy was a huge driver behind the Pumpaplane and its participation in the event.

We came third over all. Not where we wanted to but a great performance from the team in their first outing. Apparently the cross wind did not help any-one, especially our rather ingeneous propulsion system.

Thanks very much to the energetic organisers and the wonderful sponsor.
