'On the Beech' - around the world by vintage aeroplane and balloon

Follow the story of Bristol balloonists Phil and Allie Dunnington and their fixed wing team as they will attempt to balloon in places where nobody has ever flown a hot air balloon before! Will Phil - with his world record of 112 countries - bag in some more exotic places? Will 'Betty the Beech' manage the vast distances over Greenland and northern Canada? How will this mixed team work together in continuously changing and challenging situations?

Another day passed and Roger and his team were working very hard on various parts of the aeroplane. Sadly we also heard that a particular item cannot be sourced in this country and has to be shipped from the States which means certainly no test flying for the next couple of days.
