Classic British Flight Sim

Isn't it amazing how many different things different people can see in one picture! I can see the British Isles in red, with a black Greenwich meridian running down through them and off through the coast of Spain.

Many thanks Lief, I'm now hopping round the farm strips in Kent in this little beauty. You're quite right, my previous downloads had had their tails nipped off compared to the copy which you sent me.
