Hi guys.
After a short break we are back into the air over the United Kingdom. Again we would see some very nice airports enroute.
First as common we start with a map of the route today. And as common for the flights in the UK we go a little bit zig zag.

Unfortunately only Pär and me were joining as Stefaan had jumped off the flight in the last minute due to not feeling well - I hope you are feeling better today, mate.
OK, here we are still at Aberporth. I have lined up on runway 08 and Pär is taxiing into position as well.

After an uneventful takeoff and a first initial flight I am already on short final for Swansea's (EGFH) runway 22.

Rather good weather at the moment over the water...

Overhead at Bristol (EGGD). I will make my touch and go on runway 27.

Touch and go is completed:

Pär in his P-51 Mustang.

Dark clouds around me and they are reaching own to the ground as well. Good that I will turn sharply to the left in a few moments.

I only overflew Oaksey Park (EGTW). I couldn't find the runways and they are also a little short for my FW190...

Next there was Duxford (EGSU). There is a nice scenery available on the net for FS9 and it really looks fantastic. I think I have to explore it a little bit more in detail in the future.
Arriving at Duxford:

Final for runway 24.

A lot of spectators are watching us.

Unfortunately we had to continue and soon we passed by at Stansted (EGSS).

Pär flying near by:
[attachment=4744]
Turning over Clacton-on-Sea.
[attachment=4745]
Now arriving at London City (EGLC). Lower than usual - I don't want to crash my nice aircraft.
[attachment=4746]
Nice low departure between the buildings. That rocks!
[attachment=4747]
Passing by the Millennium Dome flying off flightplan...
[attachment=4748]
Greeting the Tower Bridge.
[attachment=4749]
Then it was about time to resume the original flightplan and so here I am on approach to Luton runway 26.
[attachment=4750]
Parked on a ramp with Pär already there waiting for me.

I hope you enjoyed the report and hopefully you will join us again - or even for the first time. And in two weeks we will pass by at Gatwick (Steve you are invited to join
)
Have a great week.
