Talking about looking for places to land during and emergency...I was bimbling along last saturday from Southend on Sea -> Stapleford -> Elestree -> deham...you get the idea for the route and I was thinking if I lost my engine where would I go.... the answer is you are pretty stuffed unless you are at a decent alltitude. The best option i thought would be to turn northerly and head for the fields on the outskirts of london. However at 2000 feet I still don't think I would have made it. And I am not sure trying to stuff the plane in to some park in London is a great idea.
I thought, that's why there are so many golfing facilities around ? ideal places to land ( in an emergency ) I'm sure you would be made very welcome
