Hi Jim,

I had the same dilemma a few years ago and did some digging on PG Forum re flying there and I came to the conclusion it wasn't worth the effort as the flying wasn't that good.

Save your baggage allowance and have a relaxing time in the sun.

The farmer dropped all the charges, the sheep recovered and the DNA test proved inconclusive. I was in Cumbria at the time and as the Cumbrian pilots were all doing it, so it didn't feel so strange...."When in Rome"
