Mission accomplished
As Gypsy Air has said already, it was a fabulous trip.
The route was basically 110 degrees all the way.
Tuesday
Bristol (well very near there) depart 07:15
Calais arrive 10:30 local. Weathered in there all day due fog and rain and drizzle. Landing fee 4 quid
Wednesday leave Calais 10:30
Refuel Bonn (EDKB Bonn Hangellar,the small one, not the International Airport) A super airfield, puts our GA fields to shame. Landing fee 7 quid, I think.
Refuel Karlovy Vary, LKKV. Serious snow here, minus 7. Everyone ever so helpful, they changed the active runway to make it easy for us and put the lights on. Landing fee 10 quid.
Arrived Brno early evening. Weathered in again 15 NM, 8 minutes to go. On debating whether to continue journey or wait until the morning, learnt new Czech expression from the local HEMS pilot: "It is not a good thing to pull the Devil's tail." We decide to stay put. The beer was superb.
Thursday, landed Brno International 09:30, ATC happy, and relaxed. It's more like landing at Lydd than landing at Stansted, despite it being a Ryanair destination. There's no "handling" and the landing fee was 30 quid. New owners over-joyed at the condition of the aircraft they had just bought.
Blagged an aerobatic sortie in a Zlin with one of the Czech Republic's most experienced pilots. Awesome.
Ryanair-ed it back home. More detail and pictures available by request!!
