    That would be handy, but would remove all the fun bits (ie. stopping in lots of sketchy places).

    Not sure of the exact route yet, but we drag it out over five days or so.
    Should be fun. :)

    A 25 year old lingerie model? Possibly. 👍

    You? Probably not.
    We need to be able to carry as much fuel as possible. :p

    Not in any proper sense. Spent a couple of days in Geneva then jumped on a train to Italy a few years ago.

    That's it.

    Should be a great trip at this time of year Steve. The WX over Russia / Europe has been stunning. Hope your trip is enjoyable and uneventful.......

    Thanks Gary. It'll certainly be good to get away from winter for a couple of weeks.

    Well, all is in readiness for the start of the marathon ferry flight on Monday.
    Have spent the last couple of days at the factory doing prep-work and all the aircraft acceptance stuff, including the final check flight this morning.

    The people at Pilatus have been extremely friendly and professional and I got an excellent tour of the factory which I found every bit as enjoyable as the Ferrari factory tour.

    So, that's all the formal stuff out of the way.

    Monday morning we head off. Next stop Crete!

    :D
