Around The World | Positioning Flight<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We are ready?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hello everyone! Welcome to Farnborough Airport the starting and finishing point for our epic trip around this blue marble we call home. After a quick flight from Blackpool after some moderate aircraft alterations with some specialist vynal wrap and some TLC on the airframe and engines we are in a position to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s flight was designed to ensure that the avionics where operating as required following some essential repairs on the autopilot to get our Instrument Landing System (ILS) receivers working again as well as a last minute update to the GTN panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sat here in my hotel room I’m thinking about the upcoming adventure going through my mind and writing down everything we may need, from coffee supplies (very important) to suitable SD and USB devices to record our trip. All the camera’s have been tested as well as audio devices. My partner for this trip has been busy triple checking everything as we’re not expecting a maintenance stop until we get to our Outpost at Palma De Mallorca (roughly flight 9), incidentally that will be the only time we’ll be able to arrange a direct flight back to UK in order to bring equipment and spares should we require it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
