Shalom and greetings all my pals,
Still trying to clear out my massive backlog of millions of screenshots waiting for me to edit, research, sharpen, and publish.
Presenting very very very important Royal mission flight from EGSS London Stansted Airport located near Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex, England 42 miles northeast of center of London to EGJJ Jersey Airport located 4.6 miles west northwest of Saint Helier in island of Jersey which is part of Channel Islands.
Why such important Royal mission?

Re: Very Very Very Important Royal Mission
The first airport you passed over looks like Luton
Old pilots never die, they just run out of runway.
Re: Very Very Very Important Royal Mission
You have left Stansted, heading towards Channel Islands and if the photos are in order you've not yet reached Westcott (WCO).
Doesn't leave too many options to check out, and Luton famously doesn't have a taxiway to the runway ends.
Old pilots never die, they just run out of runway.
Re: Very Very Very Important Royal Mission
Ahhh that explains!! Thanks for letting me know about distinctive airport diagram arrangement on Luton airport
