Hi Ian. I’m not sure if they would welcome a gaggle of us in to Abbots Bromley. I was lucky to get PPR on my own. I think they’re quite noise sensitive although that was 3 years ago. Things might have changed since.
Beautiful airfield that is. The approach to 04 over the water is fabulous. Nice cafe called Antlers about a 10 - 15 minute walk away well worth a visit.
It certainly was a very well kept airfield. I had the place to myself when I visited. I had heard that 2 stroke flexwings were not always welcome, but I had no problems getting PPR provided I agreed to not overfly the reservoir or hand around in the circuit. 👍
Hello Paul from Wyoming, USA. Looks like all the usual Microlite trike guys are watching. I envy all of the alternative landing spots you guys appear to have.
Thanks Tom. We do seem to have lots of small airstrips to drop in and out of. I am discovering new ones all the time. I’d swap our weather with you though! Cold, wet and windy where I am at present. 👍
It never ceases to amaze me just how many small grass strips there are dotted all over the place. I love visiting them. Hoping to add a few more names into the log book this year. 👍
Nice quick video, Paul, and great to see some sunshine again! (Was that windsock saying about 15kt straight down the slot?) Hope you're back in the air soon👍🏻
Hi Kev. I can’t remember the wind conditions on the day, it was a long time ago. I don’t remember it being particularly windy. And yes, I agree, it’s nice to be able to look back at sunnier weather. That’s partly why I started videoing my flights in the first place. Hopefully ☀️ is on the way. 👍
Fair point. Normally I wouldn’t bother but this was old footage which I never intended to publish as a video after my mic detached on the flight out. Thank you for the feedback. Normal service will resume shortly. 👍
Great vid Paul. Might be one for a group flamp or visit in 2024 when the weather improves 😁🤔

@@paulieb796 Yeah, looks like Norway is sending you some worse weather yet!
Nice video! I love doing wee trips out like this, good fun.
Thats a very tidy airfield indeed, had the place all to yourself😊

That's still on my list to visit.
We’ve got a busy 2024 by the looks of the it!

Lovely flight. Flight suits. I know Giles has Oze ones, what do you use?
Hi Simon. I also use an Ozee millennium thermal flying suit. 👍
@paulieb796 Thanks Paul. Looks like I'll need one too. Cheers
Music just doesn't work for me.
