What the aircraft actually flies over
From London the path crosses United Kingdom, then 101 km of open water.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 53.4°N, 100% of the way along.
Holding a single compass bearing the whole way would cover almost exactly the same ground, so on this route the flat map and the globe agree.
The heading barely moves: north-west out of London, north-west into Dublin. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass.
