UPDATE 04/0814. 

Attempt completed 26 July 2014

How many take offs and landings in 60 minutes climbing to a height of a 1000 feet each time.

On the day we used runway 35 and with a slight cross wind, the attempt started at 7pm and some 60 minutes later I had managed to complete 30 circuits making sure that all 3 wheels where on the ground as I passed through a 20 meter box marked on the runway.

A big thanks to you all that donated, its really appreciated, also a big thanks to Pete Jarvis and all the members of Bedford Microlight Airsports who turned out that evening and to the pilots and their passengers who I met when they flew in during the day. The club ran an excellent sweepstake on how many circuits would be achieved and this ranged from 10 to 34, monies going to the hospice.

The facts:

That night alone the club raised over £500, and money is still coming in, we hope to have raised in excess of a £1000 for the hospice

Fastest circuit 1 minute 40 seconds

Slowest circuit 2 minute 15 seconds

Fastest climb rate 1100 feet a minute

Fastest descent 2100 a minute

Once again thank you all so much

Kind regards
