Hello Geoff. Just wanted to thank you for including the bit at the start of your video regarding my first solo flight. I don’t think the plane you highlighted is actually me, but no matter. I must just have disappeared behind the tower by that point. Anyway, it was nice hearing a voice I recognised while flying the circuit and lovely talking to you in the cafe afterwards. Thanks again. David.
🤦🏻♂️ I’m totally gutted David, I had such an amazing flight to Goodwood & I was sooo upset that I’d lost the footage 😭 🥳🎈 CONGRATULATIONS on you first solo anyway and it was a pleasure to meet you 👍🏼
Another great video. I was flying out over Hayling Island and then East past Bognor Regis yesterday. It was very cold but at least I had the cabin heater going. I really love your videos as everything is nice and relaxed and it's a pleasurable ride-along.
Thanks David, I’m glad you enjoy the channel, having people tune in really does make the effort worthwhile! 😊👍🏼 What beautiful conditions yesterday!!! 😮😎 Looks like a similar day today, I hope you are able to take advantage of it again before the mucky wet stuff moves back in 😔 Sadly I’m having to work today otherwise I’d be up in the sky again! God bless cabin heaters!!!!
Merry Xmas and a Happy new Year to you and Eve - many thanks for the many fantastic videos you have produced this year, cannot wait to join you on your next adventures. Best Wishes.
Thanks very much Paul, I really appreciate that 🥳🎄🎅🏼 Have a lovely Christmas & New Year too! I’ll keep pumping out the videos as long as people keep enjoying them 😉👍🏼
My first ever flying lesson was from Goodwood, in 1993. Happy memories! Great to see another flight from you - well grabbed amid the winter weather! 😁👍
Super video of your flight from Goodwood to Spire View, really enjoyed seeing the sights around the Solent. I see you met Richard at Goodwood, what a smashing fellow he is. And Rob from the tower at Gwd, top FISO. Thanks for mentioning the chap who did his first solo in the Sportair C42 G CKYL. He made a great job of it. I was watching him from the tower I'm his instructor. Top day for all involved. He mentioned that he had met you in the restaurant area. Catch up next time we are both at Goodwood.
As you know, your first solo flight is one of the most memorable events of your life & I was so disappointed that I messed up the audio on my flight to Goodwood or I would have been able to catch more of your student’s first flight 🤦🏻♂️ Following him in I thought he did a fantastic approach… stable, predictable & good path 👏🏼 You have every reason to be proud 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Hopefully we will get the opportunity to meet the next time we’re at Goodwood 🤞🏼 We had a very nice welcome which made the visit that much more special 🥳
@@FlyingDarkLord I don't think he was too phased by anything, all looked fine from the tower. Earlier in the day whilst dual we had 6 in the Goodwood cct so he had plenty of practice watching for traffic. I used to fly a Robin registration G VECG so whenever I hear a "Charlie Golf" it gets my attention ! I currently instruct on another Robin 2160i as well, G PSFG, foxtrot golf.
I hope you waved! 😄 It was such a beautiful day today! I managed to fly yesterday but sadly was unable to today. I’m glad you got to get out for a sortie 👍🏼 I think we saw you fly over us in Shaftesbury 🤔 between 2-3 pm?
If I had seen a blue Eurofox I would had waved my wings but the field appeared quiet. I went past Shaftesbury to the north at about 1.15pm. Lots of frost about on northern flanks of hills. Beautiful. 🙂
Awesome video, must be a great feeling to have people recognise you due to the videos you produce! I'm in awe of your editing skills, need to step up my game haha! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thanks for watching my friend! 😊👍🏼 It’s incredibly flattering to have people watch my videos & also respond so positively to me when they see me at airfields. The aviation community is amazing! It’s strange as I never feel that my videos are that special & I always feel everyone else’s videos are better 😮 So I think we probably judge ourselves too harshly, as I think your videos are awesome! I think the reason the videos take so long to produce is because we spend so much time thinking about how to make them suitable for viewing! 😄👍🏼
It’s a beautiful country & when the weather is favourable seeing it from the air is incredibly rewarding 😊 Thanks for checking out my channel (again), greatly appreciated 👍🏼
Another beautiful videos from the Lord and Lady Dark….. What a stunning setting to fly in ….. ( green with envy this end, sir….) Nice for you to be able to meet the “Dark Lord Saviour “ from Goodwood ATC… 👍….. I noticed you sent the car on the track into a right spin as you approached the hold at 32…… …. I guess being in the presence of an aviation ’Legend’ like the Dark Lord was enough to break his concentration ..!!!….😜 This time of year can offer such great vistas for we aviators … ( not totally sure about the gremlins in the final shot though !!!😱🤣…. Keep’em coming, sir…. Captain Ray 👨✈️
😂😂😂 Thanks Captain 🫡 I’d definitely recommend a visit to Goodwood, it’s proper posh there! It’s a bit surreal with the race track & Manor House, but a wonderful spectacle 👍🏼 There have been some beautiful clear & calm days, you’re right! Assuming we can take advantage of them 😊 There’s a reason why you should never leave your cameras unattended 😂 Thanks for watching sir!
@@FlyingDarkLord …… Absolutely Fab , Dark Lord…… ….Oh Yea Of Little Faith !! Well done, sir….. 👏👏👏….. Amazing achievement, in but a blink of an eye..!! there are aviators on “The Tube” , been around for years and nowhere near your audience !… You must be doin sump’um right !! 👍 Keep ‘em coming, sir …. Kindest Captain Ray 👨✈️
😂 it’s funny how the grass is always greener… I’d give a decade of ‘Festival of Speed’ for one year at Oshkosh!!! You guys have it so good for aviation (& weather) across the pond 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 FoS is a great event though & seems to go from strength to strength each year. Let us know if you decide to visit… bring an umbrella & a warm coat though!!! 🌧️😄
@@FlyingDarkLord Ditto for OSH, umbrella and a coat. There has been some awful weather at OSH also. You do need to visit, but do let me know if you head over the pond, we usually rent a house for the week.
Those coiled spring pen holders would be ideal mounted on Eves side of the dash to hold her Sherbert Liquorice. Make it part of the pre flight check list.
Great film , what a day for it? I love Goodwood. Me and Anne's goto airfield. I nearly flew today Geoff but got bogged down with preparation work for a wood burning fire. We must meet up there for a lunch?
That sounds good! You missed out on some wonderful conditions but given how cold it is I think you were wise to stay home & sort out the fire! The weather looks good today so perhaps you can still pop out for a quick sortie 🥳

Great video, you had a nice weather, I love the camera angle on the wings.
Thank you very much! 😊👍🏼 I might try moving them now just to get a different perspective 🤔
Long shadows and early sunsets make winter flying awesome. Great video as always really enjoyed that. Thanks.
When the weather is favourable it is a spectacular time of the year to fly, the air is buttery smooth 😋
Thanks for coming back to watch 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Another great little video, Geoff. Great camera angles and beautiful scenery 👌👏👏👏

Thank you sir! 😊👍🏼 I believe that Goodwood has changed quite a bit since then?
@@FlyingDarkLord Well surely not MUCH can have changed in the short... thirty year... gap?...😳
😂 yeah, they serve posh scones now!
