Collect clues from the EGTT_Q_CTR controller when arrived on stand at the regional clue airports (EGHH, EGFF,EGNT,EGBE,EGPH,EGSH) to work out the mystery location. You must fly by IFR rules under controller direction using standard routes (available from the vatsim uk flight plan database). When you think you have worked out the mystery airfield location fly IFR to Heathrow. You can only log one answer. You only get a clue if you, fly, land and taxi to the stand as instructed by the airfield controllers. You cannot pick up a clue with a touch and go, nor if you start at one of the clue airports.
