Re: Advice on Manston to Sunderland trip
Fill the thing up and (subject WX), just go. I recon two hours (I can do BPK - NEW in under four legal hours in a car). Nav - very simple this one, keep the sea on your right. Warnings in addition to previous: Damn Yanks at Lakenheath, Doona Nook, The Wash AIAA for traffic etc. and the Biggy: grass strips in winter. I'd suggest phoning for the price of Landing Fee, Parking and Handling at NCL. At Darlington Municipal Aerodrome (EGNV) the fees will be less, but you are out in the Boonies. For the grass strips: They are cheap and you are still in the boonies, but the departure may be more exciting than you want!
