A devastated Jennings and co-pilot Rory Kennedy were forced to retire after the first stage today.
He left a post on his Facebook Page in which he said his engine trouble was “terminal.”
“It just wasn’t meant to be…. Unfortunately we had engine trouble half way through the first stage nursed it to the end, but it’s terminal and we can “GO” no further.
“Thanks again to everyone for their support..
