Absolutely beautiful shots, Dan. You've excelled yourself this time, lad!
Sorry about the penalties you incurred, but if you
choose to fly within such strict regulations then you have only yourself to blame!

You're bang on with failing ground cat I'm sad to say :sad: I spend very little time in the VC10 these days (Dan treats them all as his own!! :shock: ) and although I remembered all the right numbers.. getting them in the wrong order is good enough to warrant a flight manual around the back of the head!!
Can't say it was a typo either as it wasn't

Thanks for you nice comments all.
I expect today's flight to be even more stunning.
Although it's just a small hop from Jomo to Kilimanjaro, I am sure that the landscape will be the whole trip worth.
A nice little bonus is that the fuel left in the belly is just the amount needed for this small trip
Dave: not ALL of them...

Great pic there Tonks! I can see that you are at a bit higher level than I was.
Actually I took A LOT of shots as the evening and sunset was just magnificent!
When I finally ended the flight, I found out that my Wonder-tool for taking shots were disabled...

Goodbye Kili
Hello Dar (please note the miniature VC10 underneath)
Some crosswinds, not much only 7 knts
So no trouble in landing, although a bit to the right...
Taking the next-to-last exit.
Off you go...

In the 1960s people were unsophisticated and believed that every VC10 came with a miniature one that flew along underneath it. By the 1970s education had become more commonplace among the masses and it was accepted that the reason that the sun always shone on VC10s was because god loves them very much.
