Will keep watching , now I know you're a fellow Worthing lad . I lived there for over forty years , before work took me away . Always had a soft spot for the place , lots of good memories . Pro video , as ever .
I do genuinely miss it! I’m not sure if it’s just nostalgia but it seemed to have it all… a nice town, close to the sea, the South Downs minutes away & a warmer climate than I have to endure in Dorset! Like you I moved away for work but regret not moving back 😔 Maybe I will when retirement arrives 🤞🏼 Thank you for following along with the videos & reaching out & making contact 🙏🏻
Well done Geoff. Another great vid. Got to the end of the video and suddenly realised that was me talking to you on the way down! I’m a star 😂. As for the close shave, which I heard happening by the way, it makes me realise that route across the forest is unsafe as I had a similar experience last year with a PA28 overtaking me just above and only a couple of hundred yards to the right. From now on I’m passing the VRPs half a mile to the right.
I hope you didn’t mind me including your chatter? 🤔 That Forest Gate corridor is sketchy! Everyone funnelled through that one area… I can’t imagine what routing through Manchester’s low level corridor must be like 😳 It seems that it’s worth getting a Basic Service from Bournemouth & giving the main ‘path’ a wide berth (as you say) 👍🏼 Thanks for watching my friend 🙏🏻
I heard you guys had all flown off for a bit of fun elsewhere, which is totally understandable on a day like that 👍🏼 Deanland, without question, one of the best!!! I’ll be back!!! ATC are really unsung heros! 🤩
Another great outing along the coast, Geoff. The emerald colour of the sea is picked up well by your cameras. You often fly past my home town of Littlehampton, so for me it's interesting to view the surrounding landscape from the air. Enjoyed the annotations and your flight tracker. Looking forward to your next outing!
There’s something wonderful about seeing the area where you live from the air 🤩 My mum’s best friend lives in Littlehampton & we spent lots of time there in my youth, so it holds a special place in my heart! 🥰 I really appreciate you watching & taking time to comment. I’m trying to do a few ‘different’ things with my videos as I don’t want them to get too stale or formulaic 😬 Hopefully see you for the next one 🤞🏼👍🏼
Well done Geoff! Famous... didn't I say?👍🏻 You just needed to keep posting your excellent footage in your own inimitable style and I knew 'they would come'. This is another beautiful video to sit down with a cuppa and relax to with that winning combination of excellent video quality, beautiful English countryside and your entertaining chat.Thank you!👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for coming back for yet another video & also for taking the time to comment! 🙏🏻😊 It’s unbelievable to see how the channel has grown & I’m amazed at the kindest & support of people from all around the world. I’ll keep posting whenever the British weather allows me to produce content 😄👍🏼
Very good video as always Geoff. Always interesting when you are recognised by a controller. It happened to me at Norwich on my way to Cromer and on my Solstice video. Great stuff and looking forward to the next one. 😎
You are the gentleman of the skies & so it comes as no surprise that you’d get recognised! 😊👍🏼 I’m glad to see you’re back to posting relatively regularly again, it always makes me happy to see your video notifications on my subscription feed!
Great video - sub’d to your channel, looking forward to watching some more. I have exactly the same experience with radio reception from EGHH when passing Beaulieu - in fact, there’s been a couple of times where I’ve had to ask the next station to call them and advise I lost two way, but safely on next frequency. PS. Rob G is a legend! 😃
Awesome comment!!! 😄👍🏼 Thanks so much for subscribing & also pleased to hear that I’m not imagining the issues with Bournemouth Radar 🤔 Do they know/care about it? 🤷🏻♂️ Rob is so enthusiastic, what a gentleman… what a legend! ☺️👍🏼
@@FlyingDarkLord Pleasure, you’ve got a great channel. 😃 They certainly know about it, I suppose until there is a directly related safety issue, it’s low priority. I guess from a controller’s point of view, if they can see aircraft has squawked enroute - there would be an assumption of everything being okay with the aircraft? 🤷🏻♂️
Always great to see another video from you, Geoff. It seems your fame is spreading to the upper echelons of London ATC... 😉 Hope to catch you again before too long at another fly-in or event somewhere. About to do my second QXC flight so getting nearer. Take care, best wishes to you and your good lady.
@@FlyingDarkLord Aw thank you! Very kind. I do think about it from time to time, I just wonder what kind of theme or style my content would have. Maybe I'll do some more thinking! 😉👍
Very nice video Sir even with the missing Tie!😅 It's so nice to recognise places I've flown over with you. Nice high approach at your destination too followed by a perfect landing.👌
😂 it was quite a warm day & removing it helped me maintain my composure in other ways! It was so good to have flown with you here & I’m so looking forward to experiencing your stomping ground from the air, it promises to be much more dramatic & beautiful scenery! 🤩
Geoff, I see you visiting Oshkosh in your future. The wife and I went this year for the first time. Oshkosh is indescribable in it's expanse. There were over 10,000 aircraft and 687.000 people attending. You have to come. Nice video Geoff.
Oh my word! It truly is a dream of mine! 😊🤞🏼 I’m trying to convince Eve that she would find it interesting & enjoy it too! I’ve watched loads of videos on Oshkosh & have even had a look online for places to stay! It MUST happen soon 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Thanks for following along with the videos 🙏🏻👍🏼
Hi Geoff, thought I'd already commented but it seems to have disappeared! 😂 Just discovered your channel, have subscribed and loving it. Thank you! You may want to approach Nick from the channel 'Let's go Flying' - he has an e-prop on his Skyranger.
It’s fantastic to have you join us 🥳 Thanks for watching & for your advice 👍🏼 I’ll drop Nick a message & see if he has an opinion on it 😊 Thank you for your advice & support 🙏🏻
That’s really excellent controlling from the controller at the end. Was that on a basic service? Great to see controllers going above and beyond to ensure the safety of flight.
Yes it was, I quite agree, they really do take it very seriously. I was just on a Basic Service from Bournemouth, so they went above & beyond, as you said. It was so much closer than it looked in the video & I was a bit shaken as to how it might have been if she had not warned me 😳🥵
I’m glad you appreciate them, it makes the hard work worthwhile 🙏🏻 I have switched to DJI action 4 cameras now. I have three (two in the cockpit & one on the starboard wing). I still have one GoPro 10, this is mounted on the port wing. Any B-roll footage is shot on the tiny & amazing DJI action 2. I am not sponsored by DJI, but got frustrated with how unreliable the GoPro cameras were. I think GoPro have better image quality, but I’ll trade ‘capturing a good image’ over ‘losing an amazing image’ all day long! Hope that helps 😊👍🏼
@@FlyingDarkLord I was there training on the Tuesday after! Strange that no one was there on such a beautiful day, I would have been but I was working 😭
I was going to ‘Welcome Back’ but I’ve checked and I’ve not watched 2 of your last videos 🫣😳. Got to watch the other 2 first … then I’ll catch up with this one ☝🏽 🫡
First time I have caught one of your videos, now subscribed. As a newly qualified pilot listening to your communication is very helpful. Cheers.

Geoff...found your channel a couple of days ago and really enjoying your videos. Eurofox looks great
It’s great to have you watching 🥳
Thanks for your kind comments too, it’s a great little aircraft with amazing short-field performance 🥰
Always lovely to have you at Deanland even if we all managed to miss you. Lots of ❤ to the controllers - they don’t get enough love.
I heard you guys had all flown off for a bit of fun elsewhere, which is totally understandable on a day like that 👍🏼
Deanland, without question, one of the best!!! I’ll be back!!!
ATC are really unsung heros! 🤩

Good video Geoff. Always good to talk to that guy on London Info who says 1177 mode Chaaaarli 😀
Thank you very much 😄👍🏼
I wondered if he was from Barnsley? 🤔 I’ll see what I can find out 😄👍🏼
Another great video again sir.
Thanks for joining us again 👍🏼🙏🏻
Flippin eck ! Timely call.
She was spot on! 😅

I'm with you, higher is safer and just more fun. Love the unpowered taxi to stand 🙂
😄 thanks for watching sir 🙏🏻
Like you, I’m really digging the greater altitude now
Great videos. Could you add a skydemon type pictorial track during the the video. I think it would be very helpful. Thanks
That’s easily done 👍🏼 I’ll do that in the future. Thanks for your suggestion & also kind comment 😊

That was Dave slater from DFDO on London info, he flies from spire
Obviously you might already know that, I only watched half the video when I wrote that comment!
Thanks Paul 👍🏼 I’m actually impressed that you watch some of it 😂🙏🏻
Obviously went on and watched the rest!!, had to comment immediately when I heard Dave on the wireless!
Was going to comment the same when I heard Dave come up!!
That’s really excellent controlling from the controller at the end. Was that on a basic service? Great to see controllers going above and beyond to ensure the safety of flight.

Heartbroken to be missing it, we are away in Germany 😩
@@FlyingDarkLord gutted I’m not gonna be able to have a look at COCG 😭
