Adventurer Steve Fossett is at it again - not creating or breaking records this time but re-creating one of the early pioneer flights from Newfoundland in the Americas to western Ireland
 
The original flight in 1919 was carried out by two British pilots Alcock and Brown in an ex-military Vickers Vimy the flight - then and now - took about 16½ hours to complete the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean using only primitive navigation equipment

Co-piloted by Mark Rebholz the Vimy touched-down on a golf course in Clifden County of Galway in Ireland re-enacting a similar situation occurring some 86 years earlier
