When I started constructing this site I did so to provide useful information to pilots who may wish to fly to some of the places to which I was visiting. As time has gone on I have used it as a diary for myself as well as to tell people my opinions of the places…

While sitting in my hotel room in this sleepy village outside Mainz City I managed to update my posts but there is still a lot to do. I’ll do those when in Jersey….if I ever get there….. Last night, before going to bed I stepped outside the hotel to look at the sky. It was…
The Many Faces We Met On Our Travels
We met lots of faces on our travels….here’s photos of some of them……
Marooned in Mainz
From hotels kissing the shoreline, from fresh fish and local delicacies …..Zulu Delta is on the parking stand at Mainz Airport and we are simply too tired to venture out of this tiny little village to go into the city of Mainz…so our supper comprises just that which we could get at the local Esso…
Stuck in Germany
It was all too good to be true; we have dodged rain, we have escaped thunderstorms and we have swerved developing towering cumulonimbus and always managed to stay one step ahead of the weather. All of that was about to change….
Heading Home
I tried to upload more posts last night but without success. The steam-driven internet was taking ages to upload photographs which made it simply impossible. We’re off in a few hours. Going to fill my fat belly with breakfast first. Forecast is not good. Head wind of 35 to 40 kts….that is going to slow…

Latest Video – Elba Island to Salerno, mainland Italy
Editing up the videos and getting them on line in time is proving difficult. We are already on the eve of our departure back home and this flight seems like an age ago!
Playing in Prague
Our first full day in Prague began, as has every day, with a hotel breakfast. Why does one stuff oneself on such occasions with things you would never dream of eating at home? I was even tempted to cook myself some waffles when I saw the waffle machine and bowl of waffle milk. I exercised…
Last Memories of Vienna
On our last morning in Vienna we got up early, had breakfast and headed for the Spanish Riding School to watch the magnificent horses rehearsing at the school.
Touch Down in Prague
“Golf Alpha X-ray Zulu Delta, you are number two: follow traffic on final to runway 23 Right” came the controller’s voice from the tower of Letnany Airport, Prague……..

Vienna. A city of culture, history and architecture
On arriving in Vienna (Saturday) we were very tired. It has been a long flight and bed was calling. I ventured out and wandered around the Museum Quarter which is a stone’s throw from our hotel.
Massive Storms, Beautiful Coastline and a Pig’s Ear of a Landing
Yesterday we flew from Dubrovnik to Vienna. This was a long flight, about 4 hours 30 minutes in total but which we broke into two sections, landing in Zagreb in Croatia after 3 hours 10 minutes for coffee and fuel. Could I have made it in one go? Probably but why run the risk?

Delirious in Dubrovnik
This city is a beautiful place and one to which I will return without a doubt. So what can I tell you about what we’ve been up to?
Video: The flight from Cannes to Elba Island.
Okay, so this flight was all over the sea….so there wasn’t anything in between worthy of videoing (apart from a bit of Corsica). But here’s the take-off and landing.
First Full Day in Dubrovnik
The most striking thing about this place is how clean it is. Everything is spotless. There is no litter. There are no fag ends. But I never see anyone cleaning the place. There are stainless steel handrails and guards in public areas in the old town which are polished with a mirror finish. So, armed…
Dubrovnik Sunset
With a thunder storm on its way, I ventured onto the hotel balcony once more to set up a timelapse to capture the ‘sunset’. Instead of beautiful reds and oranges I got angry clouds and moody skies.
Dubrovnik Sunrise
Last night, before I settled down to sleep (which was a bad night’s sleep because I have been bitten to bits by mosquitoes) I set up the camera on the balcony of my hotel set to run a timelapse to catch the sunrise. Not overly spectacular. Sunset will be better. I’m going to set up…
