A flight simulator for the ZX Spectrum, released by Tan & Papadopoulos in 1988 and never reissued.

Sent to Lazarus by post, with a note asking whether anything could be saved. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. Rebuilt from 2 damaged copies, none of them complete on its own.
