Northern France seashores

[RockOla 233]

Hi folks

Just wanted to fly above the quite recently added watermasks between France and UK.

It was particularly pleasant thanks to 2 great freeware airports : LFAT Le Touquet by Vincent Bazillo and Quimper LFRQ by Headwind.

Plane involved : TBM 930 with the improvement mod by Mugs, WorkingTitle G3000 version 5.1 (6.x causing too much performance degradation), and F-AJKB livery by Jan Kees Blom (fully fictive, since F-AJKB refers to an old CAMS53 seaplane which didn't end well).

Parked just next to the fire station. Nice weather to start with, should be overcast over the land, while we will be flying over the channel. Expected to be overcast 5/8 at destination.

Seconds after departure, heading West, juste above Le Touquet seashores.

Approaching Berck's mouth.

As expected, clouds are gathering above the land. Le Havre is barely visible under thick cloud cover.

In the distance, Saint Michel bay, famous for its fortified Abbey built on a rocky island.

Nice watermask between Saint Malo and Saint Brieuc.

After a smooth descent to 3 000 ft, downwind with a nice view over Douarnenez. 

Final approach to Quimper with some nice rain falls in the background.

Safely landed and parked, feeling quite small next to a Dassault Falcon 7X.

I hope you enjoyed the journey !
