Hey Captain! I thought that I was the only one to wonder about this one..... .. .The motorway looks like the better option until you factor in all of the bloody bridges that get in the way. I considered the bridges only after flying around the QE2 birdge at Dartford, happily informing my instructor that I'd managed to squeeze a B747 under the toll bridge on Microsoft Flight Sim! It didn't look quite so easy in real life in a Katana.. .. .Having already been in a position to really have to consider a forced landing I'd probably go for the M25 although I'd try and stretch it out to the M23 which looks like a better bet around the Redhill area. The fields are just too wet at the moment IMO.
