What will be needed
I am aiming to document the whole trip and share it on my Youtube channel
It will be a big challenge to keep it as up to date as possible. I would like to keep video from the trip flowing near real time with 1 or 2 days delays, keep everyone knowing what is happening so people can join us on our big trip! Will need volunteers to help me to make this trip possible!
-
Video editing
Volunteers who will help with video editing as it will be impossible for me to keep up with this.
-
Planning
Weather, Route, Permission, Paperwork , Travel Visa, anyone who understands how aviation works everywhere.

-
3 types of plane I am looking for:
Beechcraft - A36 Bonanza 1967-1987 = £130k- £270k
Cessna 210 - 1972-1986 = £110k- £250k
Piper PA-32 Saratoga 1980-1990 = £110k- £260k
After the trip, the plane will be sold back so money can be used for charities or give back to person/company who helped with aircraft ! Renting is not an option as they will lose the money by renting. -
Cessna 207 project £25k + £100k repairs
I found the perfect type of plane for this trip, a 7seater Cessna 207 SU-ARM in Africa. If that plane will be worth considering for restoration then we can save lots of money, only if i will find kind people to help me with Cessna project. £100k price is estimated if there will be no help. If people like you will help restore this plane for our trip around the World then i believe we can save up to £30k
