The 1969 London-Sydney air race was just part of a much longer flight for N12421 that included crossing the North and South Poles. It left Australia within days of the race for New Zealand and Antarctica. The pilot was Thor Tjontveit, a Norwegian-American adventurer and businessman who would later be jailed in Norway for insurance fraud. N12421 was sold in Switzerland in 1971 as HB-LGB.
