Well, I can tell you it's worth it.

Just launched out of London City, punched through the typical London overcast to glorious sunshine. Pootled down the airways to the south of France. Hand flown circling approach* to land at Cannes. The Hawker's good like that. Pity the weather's **** here today. Cest la vie with a gallic shrug thrown in.

Return flight cancelled as the owner wants to go home tomorrow and now in a hotel err... surfing the net.

Never in my wildest dreams would I be doing this in Australia.


* not quite the circling approach that you do in Oz. More of a visual thing because the terrain isn't conducive to an instrument approach...
