    Pooley's Dawn to Dusk Challenge David Monks & Russell Waughman 15th July 2016 A David Monks and Rusty Waughman Production © 2017 Flight Log David Monks and Russell "Rusty" Waughman Flight Date: 15th July 2016 Foreword As a young pilot, the Pooleys Dawn to Dusk Challenge appealed to my sense of adventure, I had wanted to enter since qualifying as a pilot 1995.The hardest part was finding an inspiring theme to make sure your challenge flight stands head and shoulders above the rest. Any pilots ego will tell you that "you are in it to win it"! Some 21 years later, I had the pleasure of meeting a remarkable man, Lancaster pilot Flight Lieutenant Russell "Rusty" Reay Waughman AFC, DFC, Legion D'Honneur RAF (rtd). A sprightly then 93 year old, he gave me the inspiration and the unique story to finally enter the challenge. The theme was very personal to Rusty as it retraced his war-time footsteps round the RAF camps he served at whilst serving with 101 (Special Duties) Squadron, many of them he hadn't seen since the 1940s, he hadn't seen his base, Ludford Magna, from the air since the night before D-Day. After just over eight hours of flying with Rusty, the privilege afforded to me that day outweighed the importance of my pilot ego hoping to win. I couldn't say the same for Rusty. I'm fortunate to count Rusty as a friend. 1 2 Introduction David Monks bought his first helicopter when he was 27 years of age, a Robinson R22 purchased as he completed his PPL(H).
