In this event we use a nostalgic aircraft like the Tiger Moth to “roughly” follow the route of the Orient Express on it’s route from Calais in France to Ataturk in Turkey.

As the distance covered with each event is kept to roughly 100nm for time management, the series spans 17 legs. We also have had to call in on small airports along the route which take us away from the railway route, to help manage the distance and time allowed for each event.

We do however, call into all the major cities along the route.
