leuen Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 The file 'cobham27.zip' available here, relates Alan Cobham's flight around Africa done in 1927. Bruce Kennewell mention in his readme the following link to get flightplan informations: http://henrycrun.spaces.live.com/default.aspx Unfortuntely this link is dead. Even Wayback Machine could't find it anymore. Did anyone got its contence some several years ago? Thanks for any advice. Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Hi Bernard, Sadly 'Henry Crun', a regular contributor the pprune.org forums, passed away in 2012 and his live.com website address was probably linked to his email account. However, all of Alan Cobham's Empire flying boat flights are described, with maps, on this website: https://www.wondersofworldaviation.com/cobhams_flights.html "Cobham's Pioneer Empire Flights - 2" shows a map of Africa with Cobham's route, clockwise from Alexandria.

leuen Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Thanks for your tip. I have been at the site before and at least could copy the map showing the whole trip. I will try to create an AI flightplan based on this information. There just would be waterfields, and some are already done for Imperial Airways seaplane traffic.
