Re: Flight plan
Unless the weather was bad, the a/c malfunctioned or lacked fuel no one in their right mind would stop over on a very straightforward flight, particularly if the option was the IoM. Yes I have been there.
On local flights (in UK) tended to set course on a rhumb line which was a constant course, rather than mess about with a section of a great circle. Such a line seems to naturally take you close/over the island
On a day with good visibility IoM would make a good navigation pinpoint, but would not necessarily have to overfly
If weather forced low flight would tend to avoid due to the hills
Essentially - it depends
