Isle of Man.
Have visited IOM several times,always with a Flying School,this one was independant, so was a little different.Departure was from a grass strip in Shropshire, in a 152 Aerobat, routing via the Wallasey VOR. Was advised to file flight plans with Manchester 24 hours before,and activate it once airborne from the strip. All ATC people were great,including Liverpool who looked after us for most of the crossing.Island Aviation & Travel handled us, cost £10 plus landing,and special branch forms were completed,we had notified West mercia Police the day before.Several people had expressed doubts about doing the trip in a single engined aircraft,all we took was life jackets, decided against a life raft, due to weight. Short flight plan filed when ready to leave,instantly activated. A very enjoyable day.If you go, have fun.
