Thank you, it was very nice, a spin out into the Derbyshire Peak District in ye olde carre.
In flightsims I've been fiddling about with the Bristol 170 freighter, arranging for the Silver City one to do the Lydd/Ferryfield run to Paris Plage/Le Touquet. The B170 is an old one of Mike Stone's - a pity you can't seem to open the nose & drive a car or three in! Those airports are a bit grim in fs9 too, though I've got a bit of classic AI scattered about.
At their height Silver City had as many as 20 a day flying over (including taking James Bond in Casino Royale). Might post some screenies later...
