Aeronca C3 - Chasing Ghost Trains - Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- I've been messing around with the GoPro, trying different camera settings. My older son, a.k.a. The Teenage Getaway Driver, has been filming the remains of the North Cornwall Railway for his UA-cam channel. I flew the route from Egloskerry to Wadebridge Junction and filmed several stations and RAF Davidstow. Subsequently entitled 'Part 1' as I can add to the series as I wish.

What a lovely picturesque part of the country,
Rural Cornwall at its very best 🙂
Love to watch the videos of your adventures with your perfect little bird. You certainly do fly the “heck” out of it.
At less than £20 per hour running costs in 2023, I might as well make the most of it!
How enjoyable! Thanks for posting. Hello from Kansas USA.
Hello!
I enjoyed that!
Another goodun, I like the camera setting, being able to see more of FT in shot. Thanks again.
Thank you, I’m intending to get another GoPro so I can film under the wing and in the cockpit at the same time.
Very nice. The video is very clear and crisp, and your story and narration very informative and entertaining 👍🇦🇺
Very nice quality on that resolution and with the added bonus that I can zoom in to look at the subject matter. 😊 We managed a bimble late this saturday afternoon, will post a video on here as my victim in the back managed to film the landing for a change
A wonderful video Nick and rest assured, it's no hardship making 'buzzing noises'. Your camera work framing the cockpit views and those reassuring flying wires treats us to an 'on-site' experience that fellow 'low 'n slow' pilots will so enjoy. And by some diligent Google Earth searching, I pinpointed your little airfield tucked away behind hedgerows. Nice.
Great video as usual. I flew my Aeronca Champ this morning and will hopefully go tomorrow as the winds are forecast to be light. Kindred spirits.
Excellent, that sounds fun. I like Champs very much; probably the best trainer ever built.
Another most enjoyable video. Excellent quality as always.
Perhaps one day you could invent a small and efficient steam engine for "FT and chuff merrily along a few hundred feet above more long lost railway lines? That would fox the net zero zealots, perhaps?
Devon 1944.😉
I think, at 10 litres per hour, the C3 is far more efficient than any steam engine could ever be. No machine has ever returned more smiles per gallon.

The videos of FT certainly always makes me smile and long may that continue! Devon 1944
Great little trip, thanks for sharing!
Shame they closed all those railroads. I think I would enjoy flying in England, there always seems to be an emergency field under each wing!
The route from Launceston to Wadebridge is particularly delightful (and many fields quite useful) but you can see from the film how sparsely populated the countryside still is. I’m sure the social benefits of the railway were many, but so much of the system was unprofitable. Closure was inevitable,but at least one can still enjoy the journey in a vintage aeroplane.
That was a *very* enjoyable flight, Nick! THANK you so much for taking us along.
My pleasure! I'm intending to get a second GoPro soon, so I can record cockpit and under wing without having to swop camera positions. Am planning several more flying adventures through the coming months, probably won't go very far but the content should be good. All very weather dependant 🙂
@@FlyingForFunTrecanair Yes, Mother Nature sure has the upper hand in our efforts. I hope she smiles on my gardening this year! Looking forward to your next installment of the propellor build! Best wishes to you!
@@kbjerke I had to delay propeller making until May; my boys needed help with their respective projects, which was all good fun.
@@FlyingForFunTrecanair I totally understand! And Alaina helped fill the gap of my propellor fabrication needs in the meantime. Stay well!!
Lovely stuff, and such a great subject to go and view from the air. How lovely the English countryside must have once looked in a pre-Beecham, pre-diesel era, just a sea of green and steam…. well in my mind at least.
In a previous life I used to wrangle Bell 47s around the English countryside too - I have a suspicion we may have had a similar cruising speed to your Aeronca, but wouldn’t dare suggest a race!
Operating ‘sans’ headset, can we take it you’re non-radio? If so, fabulous, t’was ever thus…
“… a sea of green and steam” is a delightfully Betjeman-esque description of what must have been. I much prefer non-radio but sometimes have a set on board, it depends where I’m going. The problem with the radio is that blighters talk too much fuss and nonsense. I suppose there’s the option of that extra channel called ‘off’!
The Aeronca sounds a bit like a V1 from outside. Keep an eye on your 6 for fast approaching Typhons/Meteors. Nice video, I'm hoping to do something similar in Cornwall in ZL this summer, time permitting.
Let me know when you’re heading down this way. Definitely sounds like a V1 🤣
Another smasher Nick..
Great stuff, Nick.
Me encantan sus videos. En realidad me gusta mucho que haya gente que el cuidado y mantenga en vuelo de estos aviones históricos. Parece como si el patrimonio humano fuera sólo lo artístico,... pero estas máquinas también son arte. Me gustaría poder tener un avión histórico,... buen, el mío ya tiene 15 años :-) :-) , algo es algo ¿verdad?.
Gracias!
That's Typhoons of course, finger/brain trouble.
