adrians69 159 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hi all, I thought I'd take advantage of the lovely weather and embark on a nice relaxing VFR tour of England. I started out from EGCB Barton in Manchester to EGMC Southend. I picked out some places to see with Plan-G, made my flight plan and set off on a 2.5 hr journey in the Just Flight Cessna 152. This was all flown manually, as the aircraft has no autopilot. Here's the pics, hope you like. Crossing the Derbyshire peaks en route to Buxton Flying over Stonehenge which can be seen top right of the pic. Here we can see Horseguards, Parliament, the London Eye and Waterloo station on the Thames Here we pass the City of London and the famous Gherkin building Here we are at the Millenium Dome at Greenwich And the view from the pilot's seat!! Not much later, on the downwind leg entering the pattern at Southend. ...and finally safely parked up at EGMC Southend Thanks for viewing! Adrian 2 Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,497 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Nice to see the contrasts between the countryside and the city. Whilst you were mesmerized by the Gherkin you nearly flew into the Shard! Nice post. Link to post Share on other sites
