I have decided to change the idea of my flight:
- aircraft - The Consolidated PBY Catalina ("The flying cat")
- the flight will be done offline, mainly under VFR rules
- old style navigation (visual, dead reckoning) - no GPS, RNAV, fixes
- change to IFR rules only in case of bad weather (using NDB or VOR)

Tomorrow morning the first leg: EGKB-LFOK ...
