Congratulations #ZULU82

Congratulations #ZULU82

If you are in our industry and have not been following the Airbus (nee QinetiQ) Zephyr 8, first making its way across America and then on down to Belize and back to the range, then shame on you!

You should be paying attention!

ZULU82 at 11:06Z today beats the previous unrefuelled duration of 26 days, yes that’s days not hours.

Well done everyone involved you have done Chris Kelleher proud

The engineers have been skywriting for lots of the trip!
