MP LEg 075 EGBS-EGFA

[CBreuer]

Yesterday we had another MP Session flying from Shobdon (EGSB) to Aberporth (EGFA). But since you know us, we don't fly there in a direct line. We like the zig zag routings.
   

Here we are all at Shobdon ready to go.
   

And soon after departure we arrived at Shawbury AB for our first touch and go.
   

Pär is also around there...
   

Later on we passed Birmingham:
   

Before the MP Session took place I took the opportunity and did a small ground scenery based on pictures from GE from Bruntingthorpe. Unfortunately MS didn't place the runway according to its real position. So I had to take a picture without depicting the real runway.
   

Five minutes later we performed our touch and goes at Leicester (EGBG)
   

Passing over the VOR at Wittering with the airbase in the background.
   

Then something very weird happened for me. I was passing Mildenhall AB (EGUN) and as I looked out I saw tis picture:
   

I set up for an approach flying the downwind leg to the runway you can see here. Then a few moments later I think it was Stefaan who announced being on short final for runway 29 at Mildenhall. It appeared that I was already on approach to Lakenheath AB (EGUL). I missed Mildenhall.
Nevertheless here is another picture of Lakenheath. Maybe the 'Liberty Wing' seems to be out for another mission...
   

Passing by at Crowfield (EGSO) trying to catch up with the guys.
   

After a flying time of 1:24 I was passing RAF Wattisham (EGUW).
   

A quick touch and go at Cambridge.
   

In these dark textures some of the grass runways are very difficult to find. A VASI comes very handy in some cases like here in Sywell (EGBK):
   

Climbing a little bit higher for the long leg to Aberporth. Pär in front of me.
   

Here we are at Aberporth. I had to go around once as I heavily bounced on landing. As I came back for landing the second time Stefaan also was on approach - from the opposite direction. I thought I had some more time to land and leave the runway, but after landing my aircraft drifted a little bit to the right and with the engine blocking my view directly in front of me I couldn't see anything in front of me. Then suddenly Stefaan passed me on the left. I was really surprised! But it was fun.

Here we are parked after the Session.
   
   

OK guys, I hope you had a little bit of fun. The next Session will either in two or three weeks, depends on participants.

Have fun...
