Shoreham EGKA to Scilly Isles EGHE July 2020

Thanks for the pics !

LFOU, France

I’ve just flown another trip EGKA-EGHE, at FL90-100 this time, to test how this is feasible in the UK ATC system where you lose your clearance at the first bit of Class G. The idea being that it gets you above typical summer cumulus, which one often gets stuck in when flying, ahem, “VFR OCAS”.

The Scilly Isles are always worth a short trip. I like the approach for runway 09. Thanks for the write up and the nice pictures.

Here is a little video from a trip a few weeks later which shows some of the amazing coastline.

At the end is a rather less amazing bit showing the departure wx the following day I was getting wx for EGHE from my private site (via NOAA); for some reason the Autorouter was delivering previous day’s wx for quite some time.

It is the GAR as usual, plus two other forms. We are doing a little fly-in to Bembridge on Sunday and some from abroad are coming. I think these requirements are trivial, compared to what one has to do for a lot of places, like arranging handling around southern Europe Also there is no evidence anybody even looks at these submissions. They are “file and forget”.

Really well captured. Some of my photos of Cornwall and the Scillies are here.

However, coming from Europe, I will not be flying to the UK this year, with all the current addtional paperwork requirements…

Where was that? I would declare a mayday on that one!

A grass strip in SE of England (Spilstead Fm), not mayday just weather did not look great ahead and decided to land on the way from Bembridge while rain and visibility improves

On mayday, I landed dead engine in EastChurch (nearby ATSU called him after my mayday), while the owner was not happy with a visitor from France neither him or me had much choice , but he did make getting aircraft sorted and flown away a painful experience to everybody…
