Things have changed for the worst these days. I flew a PA25 from Sudan to the UK., getting onto 40 years ago. Had a map, VHF and that was it. Oh and mark 1 eyeball, very inportant piece of kit that. Khartoum, Luxor (N/S), Hereklion (N/S), Corfu (N/S), Nice (N/S) UK.. VFR on airways. Those were the days.
