START DATE: May 1, 2026

END DATE: May 31, 2026

You are cordially invited to participate in the "Spitfire K5054 90th Anniversary Circumnavigation of the UK: May 2026", a nine flight circumnavigation of the UK in a two seat Spitfire (BS410) that has been repainted to match the prototype Spitfire K5054. The nine real world flights were completed in just under 10 hours of flying time earlier this month.

Here is the link to the event thread in All Sims Adventures:

"All Sims Adventures" is a subforum of the "Around The World Race/Multiplayer Events" forum.

The General Route:

You get extra credit for flying a Spitfire, or even a TR9 two-seat Spitfire, but any aircraft you choose to fly is welcome.
Or you could choose to fly one of the escorting aircraft as well.

Here are the escorts for the nine flights:

Flight 1: F-35B Lightning, then BBMF Dakota & Spitfire Mk.Vb.
Flight 2: 2x Red Arrows Hawk T1s & Phenom T1.
Flight 3: P-8 Poseidon.
Flight 4: 2x Typhoons.
Flight 5: 2x Hawk T2s.
Flight 6: RAF Texan T1, then Jupiter HT1 helicopter.
Flight 7: 2x QinetiQ Pilatus PC21s.
Flight 8: A400M Atlas.
Flight 9: BBMF Dakota.

The UK Tour is structured around two important factors; Having Fun, and Having Fun. Not a Race, no Time Constraints, no complicated Rules other than the Route itself. However, it is highly encouraged that Participants post a Travelogue of your Flights along with some Screenshots, describing your journey in whatever manner tickles your fancy; a Story, simple Description, etc.

There is a Thread in the All Sims Adventures Forum dedicated to this Event.
If you desire, you may start your own Thread in All Sims Adventures documenting your Flights as well.

So, if you're up to the challenge, and want to join in with a fun group of Flight Simmers in May, come along for the Ride!
