A filmed biography of Sir Francis Chichester, KBE

Very few men have attempted to circumnavigate the world alone. Only one man has attempted it twice; by boat in 1966 and by plane some 37 years earlier. That man is Navigator Extraordinary Francis Chichester.

"Whatever my objective had been, once achieved, it seemed somehow futile, life even seemed futile. I saw myself as a trickle of water draining into a sandy beach on its way to a dead end. It is the venture itself, the planning, the execution, that excites me. Having achieved it means little in comparison."
