    This was so cool to watch, I live in Ffestiniog about an hours drive from Caernarfon. I suggest you fly towards porthmadog and see the 'cob' which is a wall that protects the town and then follow the coast down to Barmouth and see the longest railway bridge in wales. Nit sure after that maybe follow the coast and then had through the valleys to Cardiff. Anyway so excited for the next episode :)

    You could take a visit to RAF Coningsby. There is nothing particular interesting around (geography wise) however it is the current home of BBMF and Thumper the Avro Lancaster. We also have Tattershall castle close by which is one of the first red brick manor houses and has connections to Earl of Warrick

    As a pilot of the real DA-42, it’s remarkable how much this looks like the real thing, both inside and out. Performance seems a bit wet compared to the rl one though, 60% power would have given you 140kts easily in our one. We usually cruise at 85% for about 165/170.

    Hello Squirrel...I found your channel a week or so ago and have enjoyed a lot of your Euro Trucking Videos. I am so happy that I have watched them more than ever today. I was unlucky and got a trojan last night but thanks to you and your video on how to save your profile I did not loose my profile and I am up and running after a few hours of wiping my drive and reinstalling...Many thanks to you and please keep up the fun and informative videos...Sincerely Bradley

    If nobody else has said yet, yes the Red Arrows fly Hawks (I believe the T1 variant). Both the T1 and T2 fly from RAF Valley and all around Anglesey and Snowdonia for Fast-Jet training.
    The ones in the video looked to be T1's (shorter nose and smooth wing tips)

    @whosformining 7 лет назад

    The bridge you were on about in Queensferry is called the Flintshire Bridge (known as the new bridge to us locals) It's actually in the town of Connah's Quay but if I'm perfectly honest the Quay (Or anywhere in Flintshire) isn't a great place to live so maybe the bridge just being known as the "New Bridge" is better for everyone

  • @DaveEd2499.

    The refinery you saw as you left John Lennon was Stanlow, my dad works there, it used to be owned by Shell

  • @stoney997
    @stoney997 9 лет назад

    If you're flying down the Cambrian Coast to South Wlaes, there's Portmerion where they filmed The Prisoner TV Series, Harlech Castle and the Mawddach Estuary. I know the RAF use the estuary for navigational exercises, (I've have seen Tornados and Hercules use it for low flying exercises in the past) so not sure if it's restricted airspace.

  • @danbuster96
    @danbuster96 9 лет назад

    Straight over the top of my house and work at Conwy.. and then down to the beautiful Menai.. maybe you should fly one of the Hawks from Valley? Through the Mach Loop around North Wales!

  • @danpotter387
    @danpotter387 9 лет назад

    FYI The danger zone near Liverpool is Capenhurst it's just outside Chester as there is a big uraninium enrichment facility there. also the bridge in Wales is called Shotton bridge this area is famous for the paper mill. The oil refinery is called Eastham it is located in Stanlow and owned by Shell. I live in Liverpool about 2 miles from EGGP so if you ever need information about the area please let me know :-)

    Squirrel You and Matt when travelling down to South Wales, maybe you could continue through to Cornwall and land at Newquay airport which I believe is a part time airport anyway. There would be some spectacular scenery from North to South Wales which could also include the bridge over The Severn which looks awesome on land so imagine it in the air!

    Visit where I live near Edinburgh on the edge of the River Forth, the only place in the world (I think) where you can see 3 bridges side by side from 3 consecutive centuries (or at least 2 fully built and one partially built if the mapping and textures are up to date) :)

  • @Streaky100001
    @Streaky100001 9 лет назад

    I'm in the cadets and have flown several times in the grob tutor, and agree with you that you do get to do a surprising amount, I mean my first flight our pilot gave me a basic lesson on the controls and such, but then he let me fly some aerobatic manoeuvres, I was in control during a loop and barrel roll. As you can imagine I was pretty nervous about screwing things up so was pretty reserved on the controls, to the point where the pilot had me do quite a few and each time he'd just say "Good, but more g needed, do it again" but having said that he was an ex-fast jet pilot, all the guys were retired RAF who volunteer to take cadets up, which is pretty cool cos the really know how to give you the best time in the air and also how to scare the shit out of you :) But yeah, as long as are willing to listen to them and follow their instructions they let you do most of the flying and are happy to teach you anything you want to learn. On my 2nd flight I asked if I he'd teach me some of the navigation techniques, because 1st time round he didn't have the GPS switched on, yet was able to bring us back down through the clouds right were we wanted to be and I was amazed at how he'd done it, so the pilot gave me a route to fly and then spent the whole flight pretty much ignoring what I was doing and instead looking for a new house.

    I have flown the DA42 in real life. It's such a good aircraft to fly, and really easy with the electronic engine management. Removes alot of the workload from the pilot.

  • @Luke1418Official
    @Luke1418Official 9 лет назад

    ***** Squirrel The Hawks parked by the taxi way are the red arrows. They were black because the RAF use black ones for fast jet training whereas the red arrows use red ones. Its the Hawk Mk.2 btw

  • @altern8ive
    @altern8ive 9 лет назад +16

    for the rest of this series to be worthwhile paul needs to research and add commentary to various interesting landmarks or places of interest. he completely missed popular resorts in this and even conwy castle. if it's flying just for flying's sake then it's gonna be pretty boring because a lot of viewers won't have a clue about the geography.

    • @brckowarrior
      @brckowarrior 9 лет назад +1

      altern8ive yep flew over runcorn and its transporter bridge, chester, Howarden Airbus industries way off in the distance, over both the little orme and great orme, then conway,the Castle and the A55 does not go into a mountain there it goes down under the Conway estuary.The A 55 does go through a couple of hills but that near penmaenmawr and again near llanfaiffechan. the quarries were just on the approach to Old Colwyn sorry nuts but for a guy born not all that far away ST Helens you missed loads of locations,

    • @altern8ive
      @altern8ive 9 лет назад

      brckowarrior they mentioned Howarden but not it's significance to Airbus which was a fail considering they were playing a flight sim. yep Runcorn's "Two Pints" Silver Jubilee Bridge, Llanfairfechan/Penmaenmawr tunnels, which i had a logistical hand in constructing, Conwy tunnel, the lower slopes of Snowdonia, could've headed over Liverpool a bit, didn't know Stanlow oil refinery. for local guys they really were economical with the tour guide. it's titled a "Discover" series so discovery of sights and landmarks should be prioritised and commented on.

    @markway6225 9 лет назад

    I know there will be lots of requests. However, a flight from Stansted airport would be great! As it is local to both of us, (Great Dunmow) I thought it would be cool. Also since it is where you took off and landed on your trip to the Scania event.

  • @thomaschappell4708
    @thomaschappell4708 9 лет назад

    My geography teacher went to show the class this video a couple of years ago bit a supply teacher changed it as it was allegedly 'boring'. Now I've finally seen it. Nice trip. Although my instructor would have been strangling me since you were taxiing fast, not on centreline, taking off and not maintaining centreline, not keeping to correct altitude, flying under a bridge and not doing an overhead join to land on the right runway. Otherwise good vid 👍

    You buy the game and then you buy planes with real money too?
    And also, if you were to crash it, does that mean your plane is gone and you need to buy another?
