'Defying ' Dawn to Dusk

The Dawn to Dusk Competition, (at the time, in its fifty-ninth year), provides a unique aeronautical challenge: participating in a day's flying using an aircraft of the competitor's choice. The competition is an opportunity to further your flying, expand your horizons and give you the excuse you need to have the flying adventure you have always wanted to have!

Established by the late Duke of Edinburgh and the Tiger Club, the objective of the Dawn to Dusk completion is to encourage the most interesting employment of a Flying Machine within the limits of competent airmanship and to demonstrate the capabilities of pilot and machine in a day's flying, in the hours between Dawn and Dusk, whilst undertaking an original and praiseworthy objective.

But what happens when the pilot and the passenger try Defying Dawn to Dusk...
