I JUST wanted to say thank you to the reporter, also to The Press, for printing the story and information about Dave Sykes in his attempt in flying his microlight from York to Australia.

I have been reading each report from the day he left Rufforth Airfield. He’s a very courageous man, my best wishes and prayers are with him. I do wish him well on his great journey.

I am now waiting for the next report.
