Not the Laurel & Hardy short file but a little night trip up the north west coast
Over the Runcorn bridge towards Liverpool (EGGP)
Past the Liverpool waterfront
Down the Blackpool prom
Away into the night

Oh, I seem to remember it being pretty bright back in the '80s! ;-)

Hi,
The Liverpool scenery and Runcorn bridge are from the VFR addons website and the Blackpool one is available on Flightsim (I think).
Contrary to popular opinion Liverpool is not defunct but alive & well to celebrate it's 800th birthday this year and European Capital of Culture city in 2008.
This flight is the start of a transatlantic flight via Iceland & Greenland as cited in the recent Vampire thread on this forum

Just wanted to point out, that if you are using FSX, I would recommend the new West Greenland mesh, and the new Iceland mesh/landclass, both available at AVSIM:
eswg.zip (64mb)
icemesh_fsx.zip (12mb)
Not sure if anything equivalent is available for FS9...

Thanks Dan,
I'm in FS9 and have the Iceland mesh but no Greenland. Stuck mid-air over Scotland at present as last night's call for tea halted my flight !!
