The most landings on a single day so far and I’m not aiming to beat that record. I think I have the fast landing technique down to a tee in the Bonanza 
So satisfying to swoop in, touch down at minimum speed at the very start of the runway, engine idling all the way down. Then plenty room left to start up again and continue on. Those parking brakes are really strong! They flip the Shock Ultra over if you don’t modulate braking.
First Alton towers, the biggest amusement park in the UK
Blythburg
Harwich where the ferries arrive, I didn’t see any. Boats don’t seem to be working.
Detour visiting London before heading back to the coast
Brand’s hatch, one of my favorite circuits
Dover where the channel tunnel comes up
Brighton with the Brighton Palace Pier
Coming in for a landing at Sandown on the Isle of Wight
Bournemouth
Portland, the castle doesn’t show very well unfortunately
Leaving the UK from the Isles of Scilly
To arrive in the dark in Brest, Brittany, France
Update for London. After world update 3 came out I have gone back to London to check out all the glorious new details.
London Tower Bridge
St. Pauls Cathedral
London Blackfriars
Hammersmith
London Bridge and The Shard
London Eye
London is currently over 40 GB of photogrammetry data. My laptop can only keep up at half to quarter sim rate. If I go faster than 40 knots the scenery starts to degrade and I have to slow down again or pause. Great scenery for a hot air balloon ride though!
