Skippy goes south

[SkippyBing]

Due to various minor administrative delays my departure has had to be delayed until the evening of the 25th.
Although not keen to encounter the Alps by night I fear the currently 'favourable' meteorological situation over Europe may deteriorate over the next few days.
Consequently I shall endeavour to complete my first leg forthwith in the Percival Mew Gull, weather information supplied by Messrs Active Sky Next for P3D. Next stop LGTT, or a French mountain side...

After last nights journey through the dark skies of Europe, this morning I set off for Baghdad and should hopefully arrive before dusk...

[SkippyBing]

Inshallah I have arrived at Baghdad!

You'll note the slight dog leg over Turkey where I misidentified a lake and went on a bit of a sight seeing trip...

Iraq meanwhile was a barren featureless desert, which is a bit tricky when you're navigating by clock and map!

After several days enjoying the sights of Baghdad and conducting some business on the side, I must depart with some haste to Persia and the airport at Jask in the Gulf of Oman.

You're really entering into the spirit of things. Where did you get maps with Persia on them? :encouragement:

[SkippyBing]

Ahh, Jask, is there anywhere easier to find on this trip?! I shall file a fuller report in the morning once I've seen a man about a suit.

And if you think maps with Persia on are bad my next set have 'Here be Dragons' on them...

Before departing Jask for Allahabad I've managed to obtain some photographs from some of the reporters in the region. The first appears to be flying over the mountains of Persia, fortunately I found a way through that kept me below 12000'. The second is on approach to Jask where the haze from the sea reduced visibility but with the airfield positioned on the edge of the peninsula just coming into view it was easy to map crawl my way down.

I depart forthwith for India and hope to be in Allahabad by sun fall...

[SkippyBing]

Ahh Allahabad, jewel of the British Raj. I presume, it's dark I can't see anything.

I have no idea where this was, except I was about 20 miles south of track until 50 miles out from Alallahabad when I picked up the river and this was several hours before that!

Shortly to depart the Raj for Rangoon, Burma.

[SkippyBing]

Ahh, Rangoon, essentially underwater...

[SkippyBing]

Argghh, crash on landing at Selatar, came in a bit hot and then with a wet runway thanks to the storms I slid along, spun and then crashed. Still nothing that won't buff out...
