Well all, it seems like Shanwick Shanwick is the leading contestor so far in the "PPRuNe bladder strength competition" for his Newcastle epic!
5 hours or more in a 4 seater?? Nah, don't think so! I have done many 2.5 or 3 hour legs in my Arrow - key to a successful flight? Forget planning, fuel loads etc, just make sure you have "pointed Percy at the Porcelain" at least twice in the half hour before departure! Did 2.5 hours Nantes to Blackbushe w/e before last - no problem due to aforementioned precautions and limited intake of non-solids! However Deauville - Quiberon 2 days before, only 1.5 hours had all 3 on board looking at each other and saying "are we nearly there yet??", "How much further?", " I need to go". Followed by a rapid taxi in, engine off and evacuate aircraft for the clubhouse khazis!!!
All good fun!
