Westy,
Egelsbach is too far north for the charts we've got, sorry.
FoxRomeo,
My linguistically talented co-pilot is a "she", not that it matters.
AimFar,
We use 15W50 oil as well, but the airfield maintenance engineer assures me we can use any Shell oil if we have to. But I'm taking a couple of litres along in any case.
Well, we now have up-to-date charts, and are ready...sort of, anyway. We leave tomorrow, but only as far as Manston...it's a long way from Sleap, and we don't want to do a channel crossing late afternoon in a rush, especially as the wx for the week is looking great, so there's no hurry. As for the rest...all advice taken on board, and hopefully we'll follow some of it....since I like the sound of Konstanz anyway. If I get time and internet access I'm post details while we're away; if not I'll do it when we get back - around 4th June.
And thanks again for all the advice.
Any last minute thoughts, post them here and I'll check tonight.
