making a trip across the Atlantic to do a bit of sightseeing in jolly old
Europe.
I am very interested.
Part of this is that I will be living in central England for 4 months
come fall of 2016. My wife will be a professor for one term at
Harlaxton College:

We get to stay in the manor house. Think of it as Hogwarts (the train
to it even departs Kings Cross).
I am very curious what it would be like to bring the MU2 with me. My
primary concerns are dealing with IFR flying in Europe. Fuel prices
are remarkably cheap even after VAT (unlike 100LL). Finding a place
to park the airplane isn't too hard either. I just need to understand
how to file and fly EU IFR flights and how to handle customs, arrival,
etc, at the destination airports. I'm sure this is nothing terribly
complex, I just don't have any experience with it. Are there any good
guides or books on this?
So summer of 2016 would be perfect. If towards the end of summer,
then I might stay over there. The part of the trip I worry about most
is return in late December over the north atlantic. I can be very
selective about which day to minimize weather problems.
Jon Carlson recently did an Iceland trip, nice write up in the MU2 mag
this month. His input would be useful!
