Actually, Rossy got me thinking.

Jim, are you able to acquire targets in Carnoustie too? If I send you a postcode and address...plain brown wrapper...no questions asked ;-)

You're thinking along the same lines as me Campbelly.

People charge to do this, so it could be a wee sideline for Jim, although there may now be too many pies for the fingers he has :blackeye

Mind you it is Carnoustie, they might be able to get the wheels off, even away up there...

I would actually like to point out I was the one sat in the back taking the pictures for a couple of hours in close to freezing conditions, with no heated suite or boots unlike the pilot who was nice and toasty, as he liked to keep telling me. Took me hours to thaw out. :cry: but I must say I had a great time, especially flying over the middle of Dundee :D :D

Used to cycle along that road every evening on the way up to Lundie Craigs. Nice location, good Elise roads. :)


What's your flying time Jim? You're doing well to do Scone - Coupar Fungus - Dundee - Scone out of what must be a teeny-weeny fuel tank...

Perth-Dundee-Perth is just a local bimble. :damnfunny

Fuel tank is 65 litres burning 12/hr so 5hrs per tank @ 100 mph cruise = about 450/500 miles.
Take off from Perth and land in Kent is common. Take off from Kent and down to Gap Tallard in French Alps near Marseille is as common.

Campbell, no probs with Carnoustie. You may want to sit in the back and take them yourself tho since the "usual photographer" seems to get chilly!! :thumbsup

If you have not previously been up Campbell, I can highly recommend a flight with Maverick Jim.
