- Description
- Nigel Dearing interviews Captain David Massy-Green, on a world record attempt to fly non-stop from London to Sydney in a Quantas Boeing 747. The crew believe they can complete the mammoth journey in about 20 hours. If they’re right, they’ll get into the record books for the longest-ever continuous commercial flight. Massy-Green says because of the distance, only a few people can make the trip.
