Well guys, I think it is about time to add my pictures as well.
First I will start with a map of the route:
Weather wise I can only speak for myself as I seemed to have different weather than anybody else. Most of the time I had very low visibility with sometimes also the clouds reaching the ground and snowfall on and off and also some rain from time to time. Well, British weather as you might know it
Our first waypoint was RAF Waddington (EGXW).
Shortly thereafter followed by Cranwell:
Slightly improvement of the weather as I approached to RF Coningsby (EGXC).
They obviously had a fly-out, as the airbase was completely empty.
Passing North Denes (EGSD) with Pär flying somewhere behind me for the moment.
And passing by at Shipdham (EGSA).
Passing over RAF Marham.
If you look carefully enough you may recognize RAF Cottesmore (EGXJ).
Passing by Dave in snowfall.
Greetings from Robin Hood: Nottingham (EGBN)
It was planned to fly a touch and go at Derby. I left it out for obvious reasons.
Turning to final for Hawarden (EGNR).
And another 'turning to final'. This time at RAF Valley (EGOV).
And here we are almost all together at Shobdon (EGBS). For some reason we lost Pär. He was not able to read the flightplan he provided to us. I think his reputation has received some scratches.
OK, now I hope to see you all back next Saturday.
And Pär, I hope you are better prepared by then. Re-check your flightplan. And btw these are very good pictures from you in the first post.
