A. “Last Required” starts from Charleville (YBCV-YMEN) which was the last required waypoint for the 1934 Race. “Fuel Stop” from Narrowmine (YNRM-YMEN) was the last designated refueling stop in the race. “Uiver” from Albury (YMAY-YMEN) was the last leg flown by the Dutch KLM DC-2. Note that each option requires completion in a single flight. In particular, the “Last Required” (YBCV-YMEN) option demands a fast aircraft to meet the two hour limit.
