Had a few fun ones over the years, but tended to get arrested on quite a few in the old days! We also used to run out of maps when bad weather forced us way off route (only a DG and a map in those days) so continued on road maps purchased at local bookshops until we got back close to the planned route.
Amongst the more amusing were:
Venice - Malta. Wessex
Aberdeen - Portugal. 58T
London - Beirut. 58T
London - Teheran. Bell 212. A good one as it was during the winter so ended up routing Vichy-Marseilles-Cannes-Nice (fog!)- Genoa-Rome-Naples-Brindisi-Corfu-Athens-Sofia-Istanbul-Ankara-Elazig-Tabriz-Teheran.
London - Lagos. Wessex via the Sahara desert route when Algeria was safe to fly over.
London - Cairo. Bell 212
Holland - Lagos via the West coast route. Dauphin.
Sweden - Lagos. S76
Hope to have another nice one coming up in a few weeks, but still waiting to hear about it.
Jolly days
