VH-KDK 36,546 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Not LOWI but a very pleasant Spitfire flight over the east of England 1. Arrowing out of Stapleford, no destination as yet. 2. Over the M25. 3. Passing Chelmsford. 4. At Silver End with Blackwater in the distance. 5. At Earl's Colne airport with Colchester on the right. 6. We are at Assington! Yes really, with Wattisham, our destination, just visibule, centre left. 7. Not much habitation here but Lavenham is a couple of miles to the right. 8. Descending over Monk's Eleigh and Clay Hill Road. 9. EGUW Wattisham. 10. Lid open and everything off. A great flight in the RTAF Spitfire 18. Hope you enjoyed the ride over Essex and Suffolk. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paulb 9,576 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Now that is different Martyn! Great to see more Spitfires. Not sure about the livery! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Sawyer 40,708 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 That was an excellent tour Martyn! I especially liked when you said no destination, those are the good kind of flights. Man do you know the UK! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulb 9,576 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hi Martyn, I should have added to my last post............................ Great to see a 'bubbletop' Spitfire. Did you ever get the ones that JF (I think) released for FS2004? I bought the DVD. A great range of Spitfires. I tried (and failed) to convert the two seater to FSX.

G'day again Paul, I had very few pay ware planes in FS2004 and the only JF Spitfire I have is the FSX BoB set with the Bf109 and Hurricane which do work in P3D. This is another freebie, there is a link above and it works easily after changing the prop and canopy files which are included. 5 hours ago, Wakashi said: Thank you for the most excellent tour and photos Sir!

Thank you Sammy, I very rarely fly in the cockpit and have got quite adept flying from the outside without an AP. Just totally immersed at watching the scenery and skies passing by. Take offs and landings are different though. Thank you Karsten and Sammy for your kind words. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
