Slovenian Matevz Lenarcic arrived in Rio de Janeiro for a one-night stopover on his current circumnavigation (his second) and Gérard Moss (2 RTWs under his belt) went there to meet him. Needless to say, they had a lot to talk about, both being concerned about environmental issues with a focus on fresh water.

December 5, 2011: Double Earthrounder Gérard Moss was honoured with an MBE at Buckingham Palace on November 18, 2011 for services to the environment in Brazil. It is worth noting that whilst he works on environmental projects, there is always an aircraft of some description involved in his work, be it collecting water samples with an amphibian or air samples with a conventional single-engine. Only by aircraft is it feasible to carry out such research nation-wide in such a large country.

June19, 2011:
It is with immense sadness that we learn that Hans Gutmann, much respected founding member of our Earthrounders community, died in an aircarft accident while flying in the Italian Apennines on Saturday. Hans was at the forefront of everything that the Earthrounders has become, his enthusiasm for flying and taking on new challenges knew no bounds.
His death is a tremendous loss to us all, his unfailingly good-natured spirit will be much missed at our bi-annual encounters.
Whilst we lament the loss of a dear friend, our sincerest condolances go to his wife Elizabeth and daughter Eva.
Auf Wiedersehen, Hans.
