Debu does a big one - twice!

Having already gained the Indian out and return record on the 31st March,

On the 14 April Debu managed to break the Indian out and return distance record again with a flight of 211kms from billing to beyond Dahramsala-Mandi and back to Billing.

A fantastic flight. Made all the more brilliant by the fact that he'd announced it as his Spring 2009 goal during the Autumn 2008 interview for his profile in this months xcmag.

Jim was gutted because despite being in India he was not in Bir that day. Although he, Hugh Miller and Debu had some great flying including more visits to Hobbiton and other "Temples in the clouds".
