the air back to my original plan and altitude. Tony Zalkin<br />

also gave me access to his flight planning software and I<br />

was able to verify, be<strong>for</strong>e lodging my plan, that the route<br />

would be acceptable to Brussels (the central coordinating<br />

body <strong>for</strong> European Flight planning).<br />

In Ox<strong>for</strong>d I had arranged <strong>for</strong> another oil and filter change.<br />

Again this was at an authorised Beechcraft piston shop.<br />

Excellent service and most helpful. They stored the aircraft<br />

whilst I was there. I was in good company in the hangar. A<br />

King Air equipped with surveillance gear <strong>for</strong> the Olympics<br />

was also in their hangar. I stayed in Ox<strong>for</strong>d <strong>for</strong> six days.<br />

After visiting the Dux<strong>for</strong>d Air Museum, James and Ian<br />

went home on a Qantas A-380. Be<strong>for</strong>e they left I had the<br />

pleasure of lunch with two earthrounders, Patrick and<br />

Linda Elliott. They had recently flown around the world in<br />

a LongEze, and Patrick gave me some good insights into<br />

India, particularly the military airport at Agra where I was<br />

going to visit the Taj Mahal. Our friends, Tony and Marion<br />

Zalkin, also came down from London <strong>for</strong> dinner one night.<br />

I really appreciated the ef<strong>for</strong>t these new and old friends<br />

made to come to Ox<strong>for</strong>d to see us.<br />

Now the good part: My wife, Linda, arrived from Sydney.<br />

The next day we left Ox<strong>for</strong>d <strong>for</strong> Cascais, Portugal (LPCS).<br />

Next month, Jim tours Europe in his G36.<br />

We share your love <strong>for</strong> Beechcraft,<br />

which is why we own<br />

one too!<br />
