Well I thought Scotland to Iceland would be the easiest leg, boy was I in for a nasty surprise! So after a haggis lunch in Scotland the weather closed in...
So from OBN at 14.13.24...
The beginning of the worst bit a long over-water leg in a single engined plane with strong winds coming from the NE and lots of rain


Over the islands, last chance to change my mind...

The last land for a looooooooong time!

On top of the weather at last, thank goodness I know my instruments

Above 50ft the visibility was bog-all

Approaching the island my fuel ran out and I just about made it onto the runway

So I'll be spending a day doing my laundry (my flightsuit has changed colour, it used to be green...) and convincing people to help me push the Spit into a hangar for a check-up and to refuel her. Deadstick landed at BIVM at 16.19.23 after 3hrs 5mins and 59secs of fighting bad weather and head/crosswinds. I'm glad that leg is over
Oh and my T-Shirt is sweaty

Mark, is it me or is your sim looking better since it last crashed?

Dave

I've been trying some new tweaks and they seem to have worked

Really beautfull!! Great Oz!

The 5th is really Photo quality!

Great work Mark, where next?

Greenland next, then into Canada and down the East coast to see Dave. I hope his fridge is chock full of beer as all this flying is thirsty work

Mark, can you bring me some Scrumpy Jack  ;)
And while you are at it, forget the Hungarian postal service, throw in that bottle of fruit juice that you've been hiding!  :o

Dave

I've already posted that, seems you aren't the only one experiencing trouble with them, even stuff to the UK seems to have been sucked into a blackhole

Fantastic shots! I love your little trip....  ;)

Still need to refill my fridge though...

5th shot equals WOW!

Cheers,

Omag

You never popped into EGPE!
Mind you I don't drink any beer.
