  • A wonderful aircraft. Thanks for the video. After 10 hours, I bet the pilot could not wait for a wee. I guess they make their own 'arrangements'. Was this some kind of a record in the UK?

  • Your welcome. The 2 pilots apparently did have some 'arrangements' to dispose of bodily fluids, didn't ask them for the details though! I am unsure on whether a record was set, it was just fine weather that helped keep them up for so long.

  • amazing !

  • @TIMMAXJETT, a lot of competition sailplanes have a 'p*ss tube' that is routed into the wheel well (or somewhere else that has a negative pressure) and it is simply dumped overboard. I heard a funny story about a glider pilot who decided to install his own p*ss tube and neglected to put the outlet into a negative pressure area, the tube was mostly full before it decided to spit it contents back into his lap, much to the amusement of his clubmates.

  • There are no longer 'Record' duration flights because of the dangers involved in flying when overtired.

  • Sometimes we'll end up touching down tail first in attempt to fully flare the landing. But if you completely flare the landing and land on the main wheel, i wouldn't have thought the planes got enough energy to balloon?

  • Might have even been more than 200km/h! Anyone know the task time?

  • BEAUTIFUL..................

  • Ooh, you can see the wings droop as they are unloaded

  • a little bit to fast

  • Perfect landing!!!!!!
