Trying to get into sandtoft for work experience 👍
late comment but this was lovely to watch thanks
@TomEaring Thank you :)
Dundee looks a great airport to fly to, must put it on my list of destination airports!
@@tomkeating6021 Definiately! You are not going to be disappointed ;)
Fantastic video, it is great to see you flying in Europe
Thanks a lot!
Great video keep up the good work.
@@jamesgudger3338 Thank you ;)
Another great video. Makes me miss summer flying so much! Thought you handled the sudden request to extend your downwind very well - presumably to allow a french aircraft in before you?
@@christaylor3627 Hello Chris, thank you :) Yes, they were a bit busy at the time with fixed wing and helicopter movement.
New to the channel great video I love the place names the video have a lovely Christmas Paul in Kent
@@paulmark63 Thank you for your kind comment and welcome to the channel. Have a nice time, Paul, all the best 😀
❤
This is on another level! These views and the presentation of this video are just superb. We are so blessed to have such wonderful places and other countries close by to visit. Le Touquet was authentic and an absolute pleasure to visit. Memories to last a lifetime 👌
Glad you enjoyed it! Le Touquet is a spot on destination - come back there is a must! 😅
In 1970 I had a flight sgt, ( I was 17) permanent ciggie in his mouth, never stopped talking about his time stationed at SLEAP, for ages I thought he was talking about an overseas base such as Germany, didnt know untill long time after it was in the UK, great vid to show me where it actually is lol, thank you. from my interaction with the Flt Sgt would love to know more of the History from anyone envolved with the base.
Just found the channel and subed, nice Arial Photography over my home town of Port Talbot, its a shame that the Airport is like it is today with all its history over the years, lots of nimbys buying houses then complaining about the aircraft noise, just doesnt make sence. looking forward to watching other vids on the channel.
Thank you kindly for your comment. This is true, lots of airports are being affected by housing developments.
There's £150 well spent😊
Where is this figure coming from? ;)
Great video, keep up the good work!
Thank you James for your kind comment 😊
Superb as usual.Thank you
Thank you kindly for viewing and commenting 😊
Great video as always. A beautiful day for a trip to the south coast, you certainly know how to pick them. Hope you had similar weather for the return.
Hi Chris, it was a good day, we had to delay take off due to not the best weather around in the north west. After that I flew to France and Belgium. We had a nice time, thank you :) Ps. Nice aerobatics ❤
Excellent flight with breathtaking views on the coastal approach. Was a pleasure to visit Brighton City Airport; especially with it being one the world’s oldest commercial airports, still featuring the original Art Deco designs. The live runway camera stream is also a really nice touch. Excellently produced video as always - absolute pleasure to watch 👌
Thank you :) The approach is great, the airport is stunning too, nice break on the way to France.
I regret to say it but the wide angle shot spoiled it for me. All the best.
Thank you for you comment, Brenden, all the best. 😊
Did you wear life jackets during the flight? I wouldn't like to have to ditch a high-wing aircraft in the sea if the engine failed!
I would not either ;) Yes, lifejackets and the raft were present.
Via 'The Sun' yesterday regarding this airport: "Abandoned UK airport is ‘weeks away’ from being given go-ahead to reopen - with plans to restart flights by 2028"
@@domdutton7014 Fingers crossed 🤞
@@theflyingadventures Indeed, Great video btw 👍🏻
@@domdutton7014 Thank you 😀
Fantastic video, great views, both Oxford and Coventy look nice. Coventry used to be used by commercial airlines not long ago.
@@billythompson9596 Thank you kindly :)
Some stunning views between Oxford & Coventry - so enjoyable to watch. Both airports had excellent facilities and were well maintained; very much worth the visit. Great conversations with ATC and the landing at Coventry 👌👌👌 Superb!
@@Toby-il4dg Hi Toby, thanks for your comment. I agree, both airports are fantastic - next time I will make sure that jet is being flown to Oxford for sake of sitting in these vip lounge seats they have got there 😅 Coventry is also fantastic - you are allowed to sit anywhere 😂 - and should be save from being converted into a new estate!
Thank you for your video Most Enjoyable i spent my working life at Dublin Airport at line maintenance thirty nine plus years now living in Donegal , ,I shall view your video again , Many Thanks ☘.
@@johnburns6422 Thank you for your kind comment, I am glad you enjoy the video. I would love to fly around the island one day :)
well, that was fun, and now im going to toddle off to my PC and fly it on flight sim, just so i can compare the scenery to the real deal!
Hello, thanks for your comment. How did it go on the sim? :)
@@theflyingadventures short and sweet! was hoping for coverage on the VATSIM network but it was not to be! the scenery was modeled really well!
@@dismalduncThanks, that is perfect. What sim do you use?
@@theflyingadventures MicroSoft flight sim, treated myself to a gaming PC as retired and would love to fly but dont have the funds. I have a great time ! using a head tracker really helps with the immersion and the Vatsim network (a bunch of hobbiests that can see where you are and provide realistic ATC) makes it both fun and a bit scary!
Good landing 👍🏻
@@thegoldennugget59 Thank you :)
Say! Is it OK to ask if anyone knows of Tim Luffingham from 1982 ? ! I hope he remained well, and if so is in happy retirement. I took only 5 flying lessons in total in 1982, 83 and 85. Two out of Weston and three in a C152 out of Dublin Airport's FBO westside, the name then escapes me for the moment. Tim was my instructor out of Weston in a Rallye 100? Man that place has changed. A 65 year old here in London dreaming of what might have been (sob) Very nice video. Reliable old birds.
@@pomerau Thank you for your comment :) I hope you are going to hear back about Tim.
@@theflyingadventures Thanks so much. I will try to catch up with your amazingly varied trips. Great idea for a channel! As just a long time private chauffeur for families or hotels I've collected from or been to many of the private airfields. I watch a lot of Dan Gryder, Juan Browne, Pilot Debrief , VAS and the 2 big sim recreated incident channels. Now I have one more. They seem like great adventures.
1000th view and first to comment😊😊 I recently soloed Sibson to fenland, good times
@@ridetotbd Thanks ;) How was your flight? :)
@@theflyingadventures it went okay, although on reflection my radio work wasn't the best. I had posted it on TH-cam too if you'll like to watch.
@@ridetotbdI am glad you have had a good flight, do not worry about communication, it will come :) I will have a look at the video, thanks.
Ace orbit around Blackpool Town with stunning views of the Lake District. Carlisle airport was superb with excellent facilities and very accommodating staff - would definitely return. Fab flight and video as always 👌
@@Toby-il4dg Thank you :) It was definitely a right decision to finally open Carlisle for non-based planes. The facilities there are amazing!
Very nice scenery over the Lakes, not too sure about Blackpool ! Don't think I've ever heard wind direction given as a compass point rather than a bearing; I'd never work it out while landing.
Thank you Chris ;) There are worse place but I agree, Blackpool is not everyone's cup of tea. Thank you kindly for watching :)
That bit with Blackpool Tower and Lake District looks impressive. Great flying!
Thank you 🙂
I love Blackpool it is an amazing adventure and the amusement park is astonishing!
Hi, @@TobyRF24 Yes, Blackpool is great, it used to be a popular spot back in the day. Thank you for watching :)
I liked the descriptions of where you were flying over. That was very good and made it even more interesting.
@@JustMeZero988 Thank you, I am glad you like it :)
And I thought grass and hard runways were not available for simultaneous landing or take-off !!
@@TheKarinvt Duxford is quite interesting and usually loaded with traffic, probably that is why wlthis is the casem
Is it a good idea to fly so much over water? If the single engine fails, you have to get over land and then find a field to land in.
@@karhukivi Hi, what alternative would you suggest? There are also procedures to follow so it is not possible to fly wherever we qould want. If engine fail over water then ditching would be the only option (fingers crossed that will never happen).
@@theflyingadventures I have flown along the coast from Wexford to Dublin over land all the way. I wouldn't try ditching a high-wing Cessna a mile off the beach!
@@karhukivi We flew to Ireland from the UK, it would be a bit difficult to not to fly over water ;)
@@theflyingadventures I trust you were wearing a lifejacket and carrying an inflatable raft. The only time I ever had an engine cut out was over the Dover Straits - we had forgotten to change over the fuel tanks. The remedy was simple but it scared the daylights out of us!
The views are great, but really, who the hell would fly from Perth to goddamn Dundee? What's wrong with a 20-minute train ride?
@@igoryegin9531 Hello, we were on a cross-country flying visiting different places ;)
@@theflyingadventures Ah, I see. You guys are lucky!
Landing uphill? Well, helps slow down if nothing else 🙂
@@zapfanzapfan Exactly, very interesting runway ;)
Which camera do you use? I’m looking to buy one for my flight training. Any overheating problems?
@@MegatronRacing237 Hello there, Hero 7 Black and Insta 360 2. They are pretty good to be fair, no issues, just make sure you use good SD cards. GoPro can froze every now and then.
Great stuff! flying to Sleapkosh24 soon and this shows a good deal of the approach and airfield etc
@@Heneling I am glad you have found this video helpful :) Have a nice time at Sleapkosh 24 and have a safe flight. You can have a look at this one too th-cam.com/video/eFF1nvZdYw0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PBsGX8SbW0Ga6stp
@@theflyingadventures Thanks I will take a look! Much appreciated!
Thank you for visiting my airport. Eugene
It was a pleasure, @@ebeirne1 :)
Really enjoying this series of flights.Thank you
Thank you :)
Carlisle Airport was a pleasure to visit - excellently maintained and very friendly staff. Would definitely visit again. Was a beautiful day for flying - ace video 😎👌
Well said, brilliant place to fly to!
Delighted i found your videos. Im originally from N.I. but now live in Toronto...i fly out of CYTZ . but theres no place like home , i miss those green fields!! Great video! 👍
Thank you for your kind words. I am glad you like the video. Yoi are from a nkce place, NI is beautiful.
Nicely done!! 👍
Thank you :)
Great video with smooth transit over Liverpool. The radio workload seems to be quite heavy in that area. Great job, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, that is kind of you. Yes, it can be busy out there at times especially with the commercial traffic around LPL.
Fantastic views of Liverpool showing very iconic buildings from a completely different perspective. Great that ATC allowed transit through the restricted airspace, to allow for this superb flight and video! Talk about a smooth landing at Blackpool… very impressive 👌
Couldn't agree more. We were lucky with the weather on that day. Thanks 😀
Excellent flight with stunning weather. Ace views from the 360 camera during the takeoff at Coventry 👌 Coventry is an excellently maintained airfield too, a pleasure to visit.
Thank you :) Great airfield with good facilities and sadly another 'in danger' of closing.
Noticed the fly hitching a lift when on final to rwy21.
Hahah, I have not noticed that!
What is your cruise speed? I'm hoping to be down at the airfield this next weekend, it would be good to get those shots of you in the air. In mine I'm limited to 100knts ish and tend to cruise at around 85, I take it thats minimums in the blue beasty
Hello there, Cruise is around 95-100kts for this particular plane. It would be nice to meet up again one day and fly somewhere ;)
@@theflyingadventures For certain, I can match those speeds ...just about!
Cool video 👍🏻
Thanks! 👍
Thanks :)
