on Sunday if the weather turns out as good as currently forecast. It stands at
2500nm currently, and I calculate that a figure of 8 round UK, Hebrides Orkney
& Shetland mainlands and Ireland will do the trick! It will need rather a long
time in the air averaging 150kts, but if the weather Gods smile and the donkey
keeps going it might just be possible. Plan to fly it atFL95 apart from the
lower level bit round SE England.
