December 4, 20232 yr Scotland Tigers-2: UK West Coast- Glasgow to Glenforsa Scotland: Glasgow-River Clyde Today we bring out the old bi-planes once more to continue this part two of our journey along the UK west coast of Scotland. We start this part two at Glasgow Intl. (EGPF) where we left off in part 1. After take of at Glasgow we head to the south west toward the Firth of Clyde, a bay containing the deepest coastal waters in the British Isles. (164m) but before we reach these waters, we’ll pass locations of the Johnstone Castle, Lochwinnock Golf Club (for Mike) and Glengarnock Castle. As we reach the Firth of Clyde we’ll pass Largs Yacht Haven which makes claim to be Scotland’s finest Marina. At this location, we leave mainland Scotland and head westward to some of the western outer islands and Inner Hebrides: Great Cumbrae Island over the town of Milport (flyover), visiting the Mount Stuart House on the Isle of Bute and landing at Bute airport. We’ll sight-see the Isles of Arran (fly over) and land at airports on the Isles of Argyll and Islay. From Islay Island we head northward traveling over the Island of Jura which hosts what is known as the “Paps of Jura”: three mountains on the western side of Jura Island then landing at airports on Colonsay, Tiree and Coll Islands. From Coll Airport we will route southeast via Loch Tuath and Loch na Keal and head for home for this trip at Glenforsa Airfield (EG13) on the Isle of Mull (inner Hebrides). From Glenforsa…well stay tuned… there will be a part 3! This part 2 excursion is 176 nm with 6 intermediate stops: “another very low and slow expedition” but we won’t have much time to be doddling around!! FP, itinerary, etc.: LINK HERE Aircraft: DH82 Tiger Moth, Stearman 75 or similar (Zlin Shock or Zlin Savage Carbon will work or any other aircraft that can stay under 90 kts) (Will use the Tiger Moth in stock N-6635 livery but feel to use your choice of aircraft) Time and Weather: Prefer to fly real weather if possible but if not, the few clouds, high clouds or Josh’s NZ preset (included in the FP download), might make a nice choice. For takeoff: set the simulator time to @1200 local.
