Not flying in Europe, but for sure you can find one sport channel.
...............Like these guys did in Brazil back in 1973 and flew southwest instead of northeast... whilst there was an ergonomic fault with the heading selector.... it was known that they were listening to Brazil v Chile which was a factor in them not spotting the gross error resulting in a crashfrom fuel exhaustion a mere 1300 kms from the intended destination
