This was a bad, difficult day.

People joke about the Black Hole of Calcutta - well this morning we experienced it at Calcutta airport.  Getting through in sequence, Briefing, Terminal Mangager, Customs, Immigration (even though making a domestic flight) and Security, took SEVEN HOURS of paper chasing, stamping, arguments etc etc etc.

Then eventually we went to refuel the plane and our pump broke.

Then eventually we got clearance to taxi and a storm arrived.

Ugh.

I will post more later about this awful day.  We did eventually make it to Ahmedabad in western India (Gujarat), but very late, close to midnight.  Now I will not get a proper night's sleep before flying tomorrow to Karachi (hopefully).

Lights out now.

    Should have avoided India by routing through Nepal...they are far friendlier.

This latest adventure involves, in brief, a plan to fly Mooney M20M N2125K from its base in Habsheim (France) to Zhengzhou in China. Now in Dublin, packing.  No sign yet of Chinese permits.  Lots of small things to attend to.  Rushing.

Yesterday was a much better day!   We started off at Ahmedabad airport, after a night at the Ummad Hotel (I would recommend!) and breezed through airport security, immigration etc.  Full marks to a sharp-eyed security man who saw that the name on my Newcastle Airfield pilot badge "Peter O Gorman" did not correspond to the name on my passport;  I never saw that myself.   Anyway after Calcutta, Ahmedabad  was a very quick process. Then we flew across the desert of western India into Pakistan and landed at Karachi for fuel, a 2hour flight.  It was very hot, in the high 30's deg C and there was not much shade.  I got out my umbrella for the first time.  The fuel was delayed being allowed into the airport, various promises came that it would be here in "five or ten minutes", then there was talk of "problems".  Uh uh. However it did eventually appear in barrels and 305 litres were pumped into the aircraft wing tanks. Finally we got away with just enou

Peter Gorman This was the sendoff party at Aviatik Club at Habsheim 5d Peter Gorman a lot of baggage required .... 5d           Peter Gorman Crossing the Alps on a fine day always looks spectacular. 5d           Peter Gorman Now at Heraklion Crete. Tired after a 850 mile flight,and an unsatisfactory steep descent to the RNAV instrument approach at the airport. We did not book a hotel in advance, which at the airport looked like a mistake as many local hotels were full. Hordes of Easter tourists were pouring out of the airport terminal to their tour buses. The Greek Orthodox Easter this year coincides with the Roman Easter. A taxi driver took us to the Oasis Hotel, basic but clean and fine for an overnight. A few beers settled us down...... 5d             Peter Gorman Easter Sunday: I don't really feel like chocolate anyway. 4d Peter G
