    Two videos in a weekend - what a treat!

      😅 it was hard work! I’ve had the footage for this one for a little while but have not had the time to get around to editing it.
      Thanks for watching though, good to see you here again 😊👍🏼

    Another beauty. Views around the Needles looked fantastic, and finished with another perfect landing! So nice to chat yesterday Geoff. Really enjoyed that.👍

      It was so good to hear your voice & chat about flying 😊
      Thanks so much for watching… I’m hoping to reciprocate & be able to watch your videos soon too! 😉👍🏼

      That’s generous of you to say… they are not always that refined! Sometimes I feel like an uncoordinated cygnet on approach! 😄

    Really good practise, to help you fellow aviators out like this! Pilots should do more flights with other rated pilots. Both newer and more experienced!

    • @FlyingDarkLord
      @FlyingDarkLord  Год назад

      I agree entirely sir! It’s good for both parties. We all learn from each other, irrespective of our respective experience 😊👍🏼
      It’s also more fun to share a flight than travel alone, I’ve found 👍🏼

    Another lovely film. The footage is amazing as usual. The route around the needles is one of my favourites and I've flown it about three times in the Lasham motorglider. I have an in-cockpit video of one of these on my own youtube site (just the raw footage so I can catalogue things). The water around the needles is very interesting and the colour of the water in the sunshine are stunning. The tide brings the greenish water from the solent streaming out past the blue water of the channel. They don't mix for quite some time and there is a very obvious interface. Get the timing right and you can see huge curling vortices generated as one mass of water slides past the other. My wife came on one of the trips and she took a nice photo of this swirling effect.

    Another fantastic video! It’s certainly inspiring me to go and get my NPPL, 15 years after abandoning my PPL lessons.

    • @FlyingDarkLord
      @FlyingDarkLord  Год назад +1

      Do it!!!! I promise you won’t regret it! The cost of the PPL & associated aircraft is ridiculous, you’ll find the NPPL much more palatable 👍🏼 Microlight aircraft these days are so much more sophisticated & have a much better power-to-weight ratio than a Cessna or Piper.
      Let me know how you get on 🤞🏼

    That's my fear of going back to flying. All the bloody tech! Can see myself punching it at an inopportune moment 😂
    (At least with the work laptop I can just slam it shut and walk away)
    Thanks again for some great vids

    • @FlyingDarkLord
      @FlyingDarkLord  Год назад +1

      😂😂😂 Not much has changed in aviation, but if you want tech in your Cockpit to watch ‘TopGun’ on, then it’s available!!!
      I’m just a technophile so love having the kit, it’s horses-for-courses, but most aircraft flying still have the conventional six-pack instruments that I suspect you know & love 😉👍🏼

      @FlyingDarkLord  Год назад +1

      I’m pleased you enjoyed it 😊👍🏼 It never fails to disappoint, but it also makes me nervous as it’s a bit of a pinch point for other aircraft also sight-seeking at the same level 😳

  • @michaellane2501

    Another great video, another top landing 😅. Can't wait to start venturing some more and doing some flights with another plane in situ would be lovely. Have you ever flown to Perranporth? Thats on my list to work towards.

      The furthest west I’ve been is Bolt Head Salcombe, but I’m desperate to try the Scilly Isles! 😊👍🏼

      He’s just passed his test and in fairness to him, even since filming this video, he’s developed quickly. He’s cramming in the flying every week & has accumulated over 100 hrs solo now 🥳
      I think flying together did help him, he could learn from my mistakes & you always feel more confident when you fly a route with someone you know… you don’t feel so isolated 😊👍🏼
      Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
