From England to Australia

Posted on by Valneufeld
The journey begins.

Dylan and I met up in London to complete this ferry flight that began earlier this year when Dylan and our daughter O’Danis flew N856RA from Winnipeg to Gloucester, England in March.

This Caravan has had some adventures in the meantime! King Charles came to visit during MAF’s 80th celebration along with a pilot from Papua New Guinea (where this aircraft will be based)

Our first day route from England to Budapest, Hungry

This ferry flight will take us to Hungry then to Egypt to Oman to Maldives to Sri Lanka to Malaysia to Indonesia to Australia and then this aircraft will then go to Papua New Guinea.

I have combined two days in this post and we have flown over lots of countries. We had clear skies all the way so I can’t help but post lots of pictures!
