Morning Gents,

Just a quick look in at coffee break, seems like there was good activity over the weekend.

Isn't 52° 22'18.84"N 13°31'10.64"W a bit on the wet side, unless it should be a negative longitude, in which case he's not far away from RegDep.

Although, with mobile technology what it is know, it could be a boat or something!

SincoTC was spot on! Northings were OK but Eastings should have been EAST not West! Well spotted! It has been corrected.

I must add that it wasn't the normal powerplant for this aircraft.

Nope.

Do you want to see the original photo? Because I've got to admit I had a lot of trouble colouring in the cockpit.

Hey, do ya want to see a picture of the cockpit!? Make it a sort of silhouette/cockpit challenge?! Well do ya...do ya...do ya?
