VH-KDK Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Continuing my flight from Southampton to Inverness in the BA A319. Previously:- 1. The Thames flows through Oxford with Kidlington on the left. 2. Looking back at Oxford. 3. G-EUPK is an A319-100 delivered to BA in May 2000. 4. With the heavy cloud there is not much to see until we get a glimpse of Coventry. 5. The Midlands were also hidden by cloud but West Yorkshire can be seen here at Dewsbury and Wakefield with the River Calder. 6. Leeds. 7. The Wharfe and Aire Rivers pass either side of Leeds Airport at Yeadon. 8. On the right is the River Ure in the Wensleydale area which will please Wallace and Grommit fans. 9. Just south of the border at Carlisle. 10. Megget Water flows into St Mary's Loch in the Scottish Borders area. 11. Edinburgh on the banks of the Firth of Forth. 12. I routed( pronounced root not rowt!) over the bridges hoping for a view but as luck would have it they were almost obscured by cloud. 13. The River Tay at Perth. 14. The beautiful town of Pitlochry which sits on the River Tummel. Not far to inverness now, to be concluded soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Nice survey of the country, Martyn, with great views. 6 minutes ago, VH-KDK said: hoping for a view but as luck would have it they were almost obscured by cloud. Didn´t these nerds say everything woulb be better with the cloud ? 7 minutes ago, VH-KDK said: The River Tay at Perth. And I thought Perth would be at the banks of the South Esk River. Or the Swan River . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
