Need help for a ferry from Gatwick to Istanbul

Tanking is an expensive option for no good reason unless its a commercial delivery. If its your own aircraft then save money and route further north. Iqaluit to Sondrestrom is well within range and there are alternate options although Sondrestrom goes down to minimums probably once a year. Weather dependant it would be either keflavik/reyjkavik kulusuk then Faro/Germany/Poland/Cheq Rep/Bulgaria and Turkey. No Eurocontrol charges in the airways either for seneca. Also save money by not needing to route to maine to have a HF wire/radio fitted which is required out of Gander. You will most certainly need to budget for pre heat and de icing in the coming weeks. If you need any help with charts, routing etc, let me know. You can have any information I have for free so no need to purchase any charts.
