T 0 – A 4 am start – bleary eyed to start. Porridge for the journey.
Then the bus to MPA
3 ½ hour wait for the RAF to load 91 pax – beyond reason.
2 hour stopover in Ascension – to refuel and check the a/c (RyanAir can do this in 20 mins)
Bumpy flight for the first 3 hours of the 8hr 40 min northern leg
Spring in England – so green and leafy – there are trees
Smooth drive home – though roadworks with average speed cameras annoying – especially when the hire car does not have cruise control
T+30 – I arrive home
