1946 Burma War Auster 6a (same used for 1951 Vivian FoulkesTrans Antarctic Expedition)  and Gypsy engines failed to reach eBay reserve price yesterday so going for 'best offer' to make room for my new pretty 1943 WW2 Piper Cub preparation for Everst or Cape Town?

A 'worthy charity' needed to raise money for, on either journey? Also any ideas, please, on how to persuade President Bush to let me back into  Texas to continue cub  flight on to Argentina?

Thank you.

PS  CAA say I have a pilot's licence in the post and Lloyd Klee, from Auckland, New Zealand, who sold me the beacon that saved my life in the Carribean, put down the girl to tell me, a minute ago, the French manufacturers are expediting, via Mirage jet, their latest model to allow me to fly from Southampton to Cherbourg this weekend, without nappies!
