edited May 7 in Saturday night FlightNiight

Hello you massive bunch of FGUKers

For this week I have planned (and really hope I can attend) something we've talked about previously.

Starting at EGXP and ending at EGXC we will be following a path plotted out from the diary of Vivian Nicholson, the navigator on AJ-J during Operation Chastise on 16th-17th May 1943.

We don't have the time to fly it in Lanc's so we'll be taking the Avro Vulcan instead.

Link to a FG Flightplan of the route - as it's mainly fixes rather than airfields.

We shall be using the same turning points that they made/didn't make on the night and it's all about the appreciation of the navigational skill required.

Hopefully it'll be an enjoyable and fun exercise for everyone / my attendance isn't quite guaranteed but I'm going to do my damndest to be there.


See you at 8pm UK time on Saturday - all comms via Teamspeak - please log in even if you can only listen.

Alex
