On the 1st May 2016 the first news buzz is on Facebook – Martin Morlet has broken France’s distance record to fly 411km from Rouen.

Launching in the morning at 11am from the French site of La côte des 2 amants in the Eure region, Martin landed at 20h45, sunset, at Croisille sur Briance  near Limoges!  Martin posted on his Facebook page later on that evening with a photo of his final glide and the text “411”.

Martin Morlet is now patiently waiting for his flight to be officially declared as the new French distance record, beating that of Luc Armant when he flew 365km from Jeufosse on 3rd May 2014.

Congratulations to Martin Morlet from Rock the Outdoor!
