We will try to update this thread as the journey progresses. It would be nice to meet other pilots along the way, and if anyone would like to join up for part of the route, you are very welcome.
Hello and best wishes for your trip. It looks as if you are based at Kjeller. Regret I’m not at Shoreham so won’t be able to greet you, but I know someone who is!
I’m planning to come there next month for a meeting in Oslo. I’ve been many times, but not recently due Covid! Are there any changes?
Regards, Aveling
Are there any changes?
The only thing that comes to mind is that customs has a new email address for receiving FPLs (4h in advance, and only departure from within Schengen): [email protected].
Thanks! The customs proceedure at Kjeller is important.
Regarding your routing, you might want to note the ‘pilots notes’ on Lubeck in Skydemon if you’ve not seen them already?

This will be exciting, two in each aircraft this year and almost the same crew as in 2020 :)

Super trip
I think I saw the one above parked at Shoreham. I am based there.
Nice trip! Are you wearing immersion suits? Did you buy them specifically for the trip?
We bought these (offshore suits) used for many years ago and we have them on longer trips where we cross open sea. There are suits that have some stains that do not go away when cleaned and are therefore sold. Something that does not affect our use :)
