Whatever happened to scudding the coast at 500'? On a VFR flight, what enjoyment does one get from beacon bashing?

That is so true....but probably a bit difficult if you are going from Sywell to Duxford.

I flew from north of Colchester to Goodwood a couple of months ago and on the way down I was "constantly checking that I'm threading the needle" through restricted airspace, talking to anyone who'll listen and so on...

On the way back, straight to the coast, turned left, lovely view past Brighton, Newhaven et al. then left again at Dover, over Whitstable. Then, for the crack, right before Southend, round the coast up to the River Stour and home.

Just the way the fighters did in WW2....only a bit slower...
