Joined the 500 Club - Gatwick to Arlanda

500 knots ground speed that is, with a decent nor-wester tailwind enroute Great Britain to Scandanavia. The London Gatwick scenery is from Origami Studios, Stockholm Arlanda is from WU V and the static airliners are from Latin VFR.

I’m interested to know from anyone familiar with the standard instrument departures out of EGKK whether aircraft commonly get held down to the 4000/5000/6000 altitude constraints or if these are normally waived by ATC? I don’t both with the default air traffic control, so just adhered to the constraints on the departure which made for some nice scenic low flying as the sun came up.

Couldn’t help but hit the screen grab key along the way. Enjoy the ride! :sweden:
