Why we fly

An expedition intended to stretch capabilities to the extreme, to do what no one has ever done before.

Even able bodied….

FLYING IN THE FACE OF

ADVERSITY

• Extreme conditions• Physically demanding• Technically difficult

– Batteries are vulnerable

– Poor GPS coverage

– Changeable terrain.

• Logistically difficult– Everything you need you

must take with you

– You can’t leave anything there.

NO ONE HAS EVER FLOWN A FLEXWING IN ANTARCTICA

THREE WORLD FIRSTS

Our aircraft performance is similar to that of the first aviation pioneers in Antarctica:

• first to fly open cockpit flex-wing Microlight aircraft in Antarctica

• first to fly a Microlight over Mt Vinson

• first to land a Microlight at the South Pole.

16,067 ft

8 miles wide

746 miles from the pole

Team challenges

8 disabled service personnel will fly to the South Pole with a support team and:• Antarctic Prosthetics, that can

function at -30°C• Adapted Protective Clothing

– To protect skin grafts / burns– To protect paralysed eyes – To protect against poor circulation

in amputated limbs

• Hi-tech foods• Heated flying suits and helmets

Everything that flies in a small Microlight has to be light weight.

Safety challenges

Expeditions must operate in a self supported manner, be risk assessed and receive a permit from the FCO.

• Fully Risk Assessed by FCO & MOD.

• Rescue / Evacuation Plan and Insurance.

• Experienced Leaders – Antarctic Veterans.

• Doctors embedded in the team.• Team Training at -25°C in Northern

Scandinavia (Jan 2013).• Team includes CAA Certified

flying instructors and examiners.

WE WANT YOU !“This is a great opportunity to be the first to fly to the pole.

Not only that, but a first by those who have already overcome great adversity.

But we can’t do it without YOUR support.

We need to raise a lot of money - £1.2 Million. ...Which is where you come in.

This is a great opportunity for British based businesses to show the world what can be done. To show how together we can overcome great adversity to achieve amazing things.”

I bought these guy’s the ‘Flying Dig’ to get them going. Join with me and make this a Great Success for Great Britain.”
