Just an update about the flight to White Waltham, it is now taking place on Friday 18th. My departure from Wellesbourne will be at 8am, with a 38min flight. And will be leaving at around 1pm. I hope you can make it, would love to meet you and share stories :D All the best, Porky (Callum)
Nice video again!! I have started my training in EGKB a month ago and doing navigation at the moment!! Your video always help :) Hopefully having my first land away at Lydd tomorrow morning.
I'd read about that Airprox the other day but hadn't seen the video until now. Pure 😳 moment. Incredible reactions from that instructor. Other than that - another quality video, and partly inspired by you I'm starting my IR(R) at EGNX next Sunday :) All the best!
That near miss was too close for comfort. Is there any plan for ADS-B in the UK? I have had it for over a year now and while it doesn’t eliminate the need for “eyes outside” it does provide a significant margin of safety and traffic awareness. I enjoy your videos.
Thanks. There's no mandate yet for us, but the regulator has indicated that it's the preferred future of conspicuity. We have a mixed bag of conspicuity at the moment.
Hello, i was just wandering if you would want to fly to White Waltham on the 20th august, as i am hopefully coming from Wellesbourne, and my friend from Shoreham. It would be good to meet you :D many thanks
I would encourage you to come to Wycombe Jon! it is one of the best GA airfields in the UK (although I am bias as I fly from there!) The mix of fixed wing, intensive gliding activity as well as a rotary operations makes for a fun fly in and once you can fly here, nowhere is intimidating! I actually live closer to Elstree but prefer the level of professionalism and handling at EGTB. Would be great to buy you a coffee! Keep the videos going!
Very well produced video Jon, like usual! Also, I've recently started my PPL training (7 hours in, currently doing circuits) and was wondering if you had any tips or advice you would give to new pilots? Cheers!
You don't stop learning, is probably the biggest tip. You might think you know it all when you've got your PPL. I didn't learn how to land a plane properly until about 2 years after getting my license! Keep a good lookout - always!
Brilliant video! Was a pleasure chatting and sharing the incident experience with you to help show others how close it can get!
Nice to work with you on this Tom. Cheers for helping get this some exposure.
FlyingReporter; What is airprox for smaal planes; it must be at least a hundred meters . . .
I worked with Simon years ago in a hotel we used to talk about the love flying! so awesome to see him doing this.
As always, great and informative video. Flown my first solo today in Newtownards. What a day!
Congratulations!!
Thanks for sharing again Jon and for Tom's story.
Thank you.

Absolutely awesome video you inspire me to get my weight off and get back my PPL - thank you, please keep them coming.
Thanks David.

+Kin Lok Chan thanks. Hope it goes well.
Great video again Jon, very professional, as usual! Thank you for posting.

Really pleased to hear about your upcoming training. Well done. You'll love it!
Any chance you could replace the link to the airprox report please? The link says it cannot display 😢. Thanks 😊
Great video as always
Cheers.

Would be difficult - the Biggin Hill airshow will make movements in and out tricky that day.
oh, i never new Biggin had an airshow.If you cant, its all good :D
Great video!
Thanks Johan.
Just curious, have you ever flown into Wycombe? Started my PPL there, now finishing it off at Newquay.
No. Wycombe scares me! All those videos for the different joins.
The Flying Reporter Yeah, it can be hugely busy and very intimidating at times.

Was driving past the airport today and thought of u
How nice. Thank you!

The Flying Reporter thanks Jon. I'm definitely going to be keeping my eyes out more after watching the interview with Tom!
+Max Beckett you're not the only one.
