- Watch me try and stay calm under pressure, manage multiple distractions and avoid irritating other aviators. This time I take my cousin Dulcie and uncle Nick for a flight to Compton Abbas airfield in the R44 helicopter. After flying myself and Lizi to Salisbury Racecourse I needed some fuel and my family were very excited to have a ride in the helicopter so I decided to combine a sightseeing trip with a fuel stop. It turned out to be a very enjoyable sortie, but it also presented me with several new challenges. I hope you enjoy watching!

I enjoyed the ride around my local cabbage patch Rory. I fly a fixed wing, a Foxbat, with superb visibility, not quite as good as an R44. A friend who flies from Bliss took me for a ride around Purbeck a couple of months ago and the helicopters characteristics felt uncanny at times but was super fun. Like you, I have to pinch myself when I am in the air, such a hard earned privilege. My joy is to take friends and family for a Solent or New Forest flip and see their pleasure writ large across their faces. I fly from a farmstrip near Lymington and Compton is one of my favourite destinations. Sadly, greed caused the closure of Old Sarum that I had as a base for many years, but Goodwood, Sandown and Lee are all within 20 minutes flight time ready to facilitate that $100 cup of coffee 🤣😎
Good example of the kinds of distractions you're likely to get as a commerical pilot!
Sounds like the helicopter was the most exciting thing to visit Compton all week :)
😂 G-COCG is my call sign! Putting the pressure on Rory!
Our Civil Aviation Safety Authority every six months in Albany holds Pilot Safety Briefings, the last two have focused on VFR into IMC, one of our highest fatality scenarios. We talked about stress and get-there-itis being major factors. Well done on pacing yourself on your start up checks
Just wanted to mention if I could... don't forget to brief your passengers on the formalities of a professional cockpit. It will hopefully silence excited passengers at the correct times.
I rory hope you and lizzy are well.brilliant video buddy awesome scenery plus it's nice to meet your friends.rory if you are going to church Fenton on the 6th of August. Can you bring philip one of your hats please. Take care and I hope to see you on the 6th August.
Great job Rory, people can wait, safety first. Looks like your cousin and Uncle and really enjoyed themselves.
Great lesson is not allowing the pressure to get to you and how the aviation world understands that so they don't try to hurry you. Safety and check lists all the way.
Hello Rory and Liz, good to see you visiting my home airfield ; I am currently learning to fly in the resident C42... It's a pastime that gives you such a buzz!!
You won't need anything else to keep you awake once the baby arrives, fun and interesting video as always.
Priceless reactions!! Bless them!!
You kept your cool. It seemed incredibly distracting 👏
Rory's serious look ! 😅 👌
Fantastic video Rory! Very well handled and you had everything done in the right order there, on a busy day under fairly stressful circumstances! Nice stuff
Really loved this one Rory . Great to see your Uncle and Cousin having such a good time . Although we now live in Sydney , we have family in the Salisbury area and Shaftesbury too , so it tugged at our heart strings . Good to see my homeland looking so beautiful. Cheers and our best wishes to you and Lizi .
Fabulous video as ever Rory - it's great taking people flying who are really appreciative of the experience isn't it.... And one hot cousin you got there, woof woof, you ol' trickster you.....!!
Nailed it again Rory - another fab vid. Your explanation of what’s going on in your head satisfies the aviator in me, and the enthusiasm of your passengers made it another demonstration of what a life affirming, unadulterated fun pass time this is. You are very lucky to have been able to choose this as your occupation. Look forward to seeing progress through your FI course.
With all that’s bad in the world these days Rory, your videos bring a smile to my face. It’s great to see you bringing joy to your friends and family and when it is in my neck of the woods so much the better! Compton is one of my favourite airfields to visit, although my trips are usually on a motorbike. Enjoy the coffee! 👍🏻
I watched that with a big smile, excellent.
