Inspired by Tipster and Mr Esselbach I have started my own round trip.  I have set the date to 18th April 1933 (My Dads birth date) and am embarking on an historic voyage......

The aircaft I have chosen is the Felixtowe F2a by Stewart Green.  Thanks for a great 'plane Stewart.

1. Leaving Southampton, bound for, well, Southampton eventually.  First stop Cork in Eire.
...

2. The Cockpit with nose gunner/birdstrike prevention engineer.
...

3.  My Co-Pilot.  Ugly geezer, gave me a fright during the crosscheck!
...

4.  Climbing sloooooowly to 3000 Feet ASL
...

5. Gratuitous wing shot.
...

292 Miles to Cork at 80Kts IAS, it's going to be a long journey.

When we were comparing certificates you posted that Round the World from FS2000, and I thought "What the hell."

I've made it as far as Cork, 700 miles to Iceland LOL Cheesy
