Orgasmatron Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 This was my first ever cross country flight as a student pilot. Flown in a Cessna 152 G-BNJC. This is roughly what I remember the flight plan to be. We always used Brentwood as our departure and arrival way point, direct to West Malling disused and then direct to Lydd. Enjoy the flight. With a little flap you cant lift off before the grass runway starts. Brentwood City of London The Thames estuary and the QE2 bridge South End on Sea off in the distance Approaching West Malling its now a business park Lashenden/Headcorn That wind farm wasnt there back in 2005 Lydd - as the first airport I had flown into other than Stapleford I remember thinking ho huge the runway was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonman Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Indeed Matt - a very nice set of pictures from a very fine flight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taph Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Nice flight, you flew over me as well. West Malling airport is now a mix of business park and a large residential housing area. I flew from Headcorn to there and could pick out the by-pass and connection to the Motorway with ease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmatron Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Thanks Moonman. Taph, I did exactly the same from EGSC to pretty much where I live in a small village out in the sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
