How does it take 22 hours in a B777 to get from Hong Kong to London? Does the Endurance record section need a cleanup? Adaros 09:41, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

The 777-200LR flew "the long way" from Hong Kong to London, going over the Pacific, Americas, then Atlantic rather than the direct route over Asia. Ryanmac06 06:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Overlooked distance record?

There was a record breaking flight by Three vickers Wellesly aircraft from o5/11/38 to 07/11/38. Two of the three aircraft involved flew from Ismailia in Egypt to Darwin in N Australia. 7,162 miles, 11,526 Km. One aircraft landed in Timor (Koepang), owing to fuel shortage. The two successful crews were (1)S/L R Kellet, Flt/Lt R Gething, Plt/Off M Gaine (2) Flt/Lt A Combe, Flt/Lt B Burnett, Sgt H Gray, Should this be added? Fitter2 08:36, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
