About This File
FS2004/FSX Flight--1946 - "Round The Bend" (Nevil Shute, 1951). This flight is fictional and is based upon the story "Round The Bend" written by Nevil Shute and first published in 1951. It tells the story of a young man, a pilot, whose personal affairs drive him to leave England and establish a small air service in the Middle East, a location with which he is familiar, having worked there during the latter stages of WW2. The flight replicates the route he took when he left England for the first time aboard his de Havilland Fox-Moth, heading for his destination of Bahrain. By Bruce Kennewell.
