He shoots his videos like an old-school BBC documentary presenter. Both he and the camera are in motion. On RUclips, that actually feels pretty fresh and dynamic.
I agree! Love his format. Very professional and fun to watch. Like a real program.
it's educational Monty Python
osriodore Only better
Perhaps because he was a staff on top gear?
Now he needs to answer why Atlanta has so few. It's a real pain to fly through that city especially between 4 PM and 6 PM. They really need a 2nd airport.
The Heathrow wait made me irrationally uncomfortable.
I thought he was going to say something like luton
I thought it was only me ... it drove me nuts
Just like when you're actually waiting at Heathrow
Loool I was watching it on double speed and it still drove me crazy
You know the one i mean
it's this one
the one we all know
this is what it is
im going to say it now
here it comes
yes, its the one you think it is
youve guessed it
the jewel of west london
here it comes
this is what it is
it's this
everyones favourite airport
you know the one
its what you've all been waiting for
here it comes now
4:51 "The street names here acknowledge the areas' aviation heritage, such as aviation drive... and heritage avenue"

For car enthusiasts, the great thing about unused Aerodromes is they can easily be used as race tracks or drag strips. The top gear track is at an aerodrome. Both the top gear test track (aka Dunsfold Aerodrome) and Goodwood were on the map for WW2 aerodromes.
Also Sebring in Florida.
Brooklands in Surrey was also a racetrack and an airfield - it was also home to an aircraft factory in WW2
Silverstone was also an RAF base is I remember correctly.
Gimli airport in Manitoba was also converted into a drag racing strip.
It would be nice if the runways were kept open. Silverstone destroyed their last remaining runway a few years ago. Thruxton and Goodwood retain the airfield inside their race-track. Pembrey has the race track separate and still retains an airfield. There are quite a few other ex-aerodromes used for car racing - Bedford, Snetterton, Poddington (Santa Pod drag strip), Llandow, Castle Combe, Croft, Wymeswold, and maybe the aforementioned Dunsfold at least for the time being. I may have missed some. They also have car days on Bruntingthorpe and Elvington, and they occasionally run cars on Sywell, Turweston, Kemble, North Weald and maybe others.
“Acknowledging aviation heritage,
Such as Aviation drive or Heritage Avenue”
You deliver these lines with such a tone that I can’t discern if they’re jokes or not but I’m still floored
Look them up. Those streets are real.

Even better, I got an ad right as that segement ended.
The extremely long "here it is" bit leading up to Heathrow followed by an ad break delaying actually saying "Heathrow" was very funny.
I was disappointed that I didn’t get an ad before he talked about Heathrow. I would have laughed even harder than I already was!
The "used by wankers" thing caught me so off guard lmao
I spat milk all over a fellow aerodrome user.

5:18 and this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you reach the famous 10-minute mark.
He spends about 20 seconds saying it. This video is 10 minutes 19 seconds long. Coincidence? I think not!

Good spot! That be Dunsfold then.
Thanks Jay, this video got me context marks on my A Level English exam (Text B was an aviation text from 1928 and I mentioned how in the olden days only posh people could fly).
Glad to be of service! :)

As a Londoner I can say that the diagram at the beginning at 0:10 is _absolutely_ spot on. Christ I might as well just get a taxi to Munich if I have to go all the way to stanstead to get a flight.
How on earth can half of these be classed as "London" airports?
60 miles away for a airport doesn't seem that far
Living in the US has distorted my sense of distance by quite a bit
Yes the US is quite large.
AN airport
@@SuitedConnectors An pedant...
@@mercifulzeus01 Without grammar nazis, we'd be descending into indecipherable nonsense.
I just don't understand the criteria, if we count every airport within 60 miles of NYC we'd get more than 6. Even if we ignore the smaller general aviation airports. EWR, JFK, LGA, HPN, TEB, ISP, SWF, TTN are all within 60 miles.
I usually land at London Tokyo and take a short 6,000 mile connection by rail to Paddington
I usually use the London Auckland airport. It's a bit less crowded.

PS I flew from City for the first time last January. It's the first airport I've been to where you don't have to take your iPad out of your bag at security. It's amazing!
I didn’t even have to empty my water bottle, which is crazy to me lol
I was very surprised this video is 9 years old
You know who flies from City airport?
@@ric112 absolute wankers! But I had a daddy in the UK who paid for the flight so I wasn't exactly going to insist on an easyjet flight to Gatwick.

@@vice.nor.virtue wow, you can be proud of yourself
I was watching the video for like a millionth time and suddenly realized that the Top Gear test track is a former airport close to London and must be somewhere in the video. And sure enough - 3:32. For like 0.3 of a second. I appreciate your hard work, Jay!
Only just noticed that myself.
The presenting skills combined with acting, writing and editing skills? Fantastic.

This the first time I've come across Jay and find his presenting informative, entertaining and funny, so I'll be checking out more of what he,s offered on RUclips.
this channel has such a monty python feel and i'm not even mad about it.
I'm waiting for the "I don't like Spam!" reference!
We all need more Monty Python in our lives.
why would you be mad about it
Oh my god thank you!
Monty python is great!
Thought I was having a stroke at 5:35
You really are extremely talented. The writing and the presentation of this - and indeed all your vids - is excellent. You deserve a much bigger audience - and much more money. BBC take note. Especially about the money part.
London City airport "To this day it's only used by wankers!" My sides literally split.
Well London city makes a ton of sense when flying from Holland.
Little airport congestion in both airports drastically cuts down travel time.
Also it's a lot more relaxed clearing wanker security then the Luton prison camp.
Yeah am guilty of being an LCY wanker occasionally but it's really great and cute. However the sandwiches and drinks are megawankingly expensive

Amazing.
Hey, I just asked if he said wankers! Isn't that bad... isn't a wanker like an idiot? Yes, as soon as we can come over again, I'm asking for a ticket for the Wanker Aeroport. Lol 😂😂 😁
American here. Is there some stereotype about the airport and/or the type of people who use it that makes that line funny, or is it just absurdist humor?
@@timothymclean It's in the middle of the London financial district, so the stereotype is that it is pretty much only used by bankers(wankers).
I've used it once when I found a cheap last minute flight to Rome, but pretty much all the other passangers appeared to be businesspeople so the stereotype holds.
@@timothymclean Just to echo phildman132's explanation, the City (capital C) is a metonym for the high-finance sector in the UK so it's like having an airport called New York Wall Street.
I agree that it's used by wankers and I'm the sort of wanker who uses words like 'metonym'.
@@notdaveschannel9843 Where you will find the Official Collective Noun for Bankers... A Wunch, as in "a Wunch of Bankers."

Britain just loves making every little thing "fiddly and complicated". That should be UK's national motto: "United Kingdom - Fiddly and Complicated."
The United Kingdom of Fiddly and Complicated would never work.
Fiddly has had a long running feud with Complicated since the flitch of bacon was stolen in 1883. They'd never agree to share space on the name of the country.

I love the no nonsense presentation, clever use of video footage, photos and diagrams and of course, the quintessential, deadpan British humour. RUclips needs more channels and content like this. Subbed!
"no nonsense presentation" did we watch the same video?
Did you misspell "every bit of nonsense presentation"
@Christopher Poitras @@NimhLabs
Perhaps I should've written "no frills" instead. Regardless, aside from the typically British humour, his videos are indeed refreshingly "straight to the point", without a fancy intro accompanied by an annoying sound clip and no longwinded preamble.
RUclips needs to be more British.
No nonsense? It was full of bland, tasteless, juvenile, cringy comedy and nonsense.
The “Royal Flying Core” killed me ( 1:19 )
Bigging Hill is still there and is not just a RAF base. Doesn’t allow charter holiday flights but is used for corporate/business private jets etc.
'Who wouldn't let us in for filming'. Gotta wonder why. I used to work in a small niche-interest museum (Booth Museum in Hove) and we'd have been delighted to have an enthusiastic RUclipsr come in to raise the profile of the collections and exhibits. It's not as if you're causing problems or saying the museum is shit - you're doing the opposite by generating interest in a subject a lot of people hadn't realised they were interested in!
Also, '...only used by wankers' has had me laughing for about five minutes!
Jay said on twitter that the permission denied for filming part was intended as a joke and that there wasn’t anything interesting enough to be put into video
Cus he looks like a channal 4 type...
It's run by wankers.
The RAF museum might consider themselves above a lowly RUclips channel and more deserving of the likes of the Beeb. If so, they can go fly themselves!

ImAnderZEL Americans, please, for the love of God, stop pointing out when British humour is in a video. Containing British humour is in the nature of a humorous British video. This does not need to be pointed out on every RUclips video that is British ad contains humour. It is the case in all of them, by definition. It is good to see that you enjoy such videos, and saying that you do is, of course, going to be appreciated by the creator of the video and likely to be an opinion shared by other members of Yuutube who may like to discuss this with you. However, pointing out that a BMW video contains Bavarian cars, or that an irish dancing video contains irish dancing, is not very helpful to discussion.

The building of Heathrow was a bit dodgy. The government wanted to build a long length runway for commercial flights when the war finished. So it bypassed planning laws with Emergency War Regulations under the pretence that the Americans needed an
airbase that could accommodate the Superfortress.
The only time one landed there was when Boeing wanted to test out the runways were long enough to accommodate the civilian airliner that was based on it.

Loving "The Top Gear Test Track 1942"
The Top Gear Test Track is actually Dunsfold Aerodrome (EGTD). You'd know if you flew a VFR approach there. You'd be looking out for tyre marks, a hangar with the Top Gear logo on the roof, caravan debris, stacks of tyres, one of which might have a few bits of a Koenigsegg in it, and a white 747 which seems to be a permanent fixture.
@@MrSupercar55 that is permanent isnt it? I know it's not cemented or anything but I was under the impression it was decommissioned and couldnt move... literally or legally so instead of tearing it apart they just said "meh, it looks good for the show" and kept it.
On another note; isnt the track used exclusively by lotus now? I honestly dont know if TG is even still on and I know they designed the track (or atleast helped) and used it as a test track for the... evora I think it was.
Though I was also under the impression it was completely shut down to all air traffic except in the most extreme of emergencies due to the tire walls and whatnot so I could be completely wrong on every account
