Me and a friend did Sherburn - Blackpool, our first trip over the pennines, skirted round LBA zone, up over the top and skimming just north of Manc zone for a straight in on 28.
Must have been some sort of show going on as there were 2 Tornadoes, 2 Spitfires on the floor and a Dakota followed us in.
Depart 25 straight out over the sea, right turn back to Sherburn flying straight between the Tower and Pleasure Beach. Airborne 15 minutes and we could almost see the East coast by now. Fantastic day, fantastic trip and my friend took some pictures too.
Just hope the 2 pilots we saw at Blackpool got their a/c sorted. As they began taxi off the somewhat bumpy parking area used for GA a/c, they hit a dip and pranged the prop on the floor.
