Day 1 Leg 2 East Anglia - Very Flat! and Holiday Caravans!!

Having left Manston ahead of our German friends for Humberside International Airport, near Grimsby, leg two of our journey unveiled the beauties of East Anglia – caravans are a feature of this coastline, the traditional British holiday lives on! Whilst tracking the coastline does simplify the navigational procedure, this exercise highlights the various ways in which the UK has used its position to make its mark in the world – off shore oil helicopters buzz backwards and forwards whilst the wind farms waltz their way into history, meanwhile the military firing ranges kept us on our toes. The third map (chart) of the day had now turned the after cabin into a receptacle for all that had gone before!The Helibeli cam together with multiple stills and video cams recording both inside and outside the helicopter kept us all very busy but still left us time to marvel at the sights and appreciate the privilege of flying with Charlie. This leg enabled us to appreciate the Aldeburgh, the Norfolk Broads, Cromer, The Wash and Skegness amongst others.
