as we had to wait for so long our fuel got a bit critical but we managed to land on the minimum reserves.
After a Short turnaround the Aircraft is back in the Air and flying between Darwin and Jakarta with Dominic and James at the controls ..... time for me to get a little shut eye before BBC Radio Coventry arrive to do an interview at 10 am.
