Hey all,
this was a peaceful flight wich Ashar and I started, but he left (I'm thinking it was his PSU) soon and I finished the flight alone.
We started at my home airport, EGTE, and followed a part of the Jurassic Coast down to Plymouth:

Looking back on the river Exe estuary, and the ricer itself runs through my small home town.

Paignton down there below us.....there's quite a large zoo down there, FS didn't model it though ::) ;)

Image
A quick T+G at Plymouth....

Image
Following the River Plym up into Dartmor - I had just turned to avoid the "danger zone" (the small area of land where the Army practice.)

Image
A quick stop at Eaglescott, a small strip south of Chivnor (which is an ex-RAF base, I think, is there anyone who can inform me correctly?)

Look for Pt 2 here

Chivenor was indeed an RAF base until the early 90s. It is now a Royal Marines depot if I'm not mistaken, although RAF SAR Sea Kings are still based there...

Nice shots Lil_C :)
