mate i found ur channel 3 weeks ago, and trust me when i say this, its a breath of fresh air to see a genuine youtuber and a good one at that, i have been binge watching your travel vidoes, and plz stay the same lol same humour same video style , i really apreciate it
So, this is were it all started. :) I've been binge watching the entire channel and every video, giving every one a well deserved 'thumbs up'! I really enjoy when Steve and Alicja go exploring or just goofing around. So comfortable and enjoyable. Like the failed overnight camp in a culvert. Great post. Thanks!
Yes I'm doing that too now. I recently discovered Steve's channel and am so impressed with the tell-it-like-it- is approach. It's so helpful for people with limited funds. And of course it's very entertaining and informative of visits to places outwith the UK. 🏴🇨🇮🙋
My wife and I have probably watched close to a hundred of your videos so I thought I’d go back and see where it all started! Somehow time just flies by when watching your travels, great job 👏 Scotland seems a long long ways away from here in California! 🚀
@@steve-marsh No need to get nervous, even your early stuff is great. In fact, after watching this I scrolled through the list and realized I had already watched quite a few of your videos from that same era, I guess UA-cam recommended them to me. One difference I have noticed, in your recent videos you've gotten amazingly good at "off-the-cuff" narration right in the moment, where earlier your narration was mostly done in post. I frequently think "how did he know to say that perfect thing to advance the narrative right in the moment?" I guess you're just a natural talent! :) Did you do any kind of creative work before your UA-cam career?
Good video. Makes a refreshing change to watch a video like this rather than the usual aviation videos featuring the best biz or first seats on Emirates, Qatar and the like...
So fun to see the beginning! Talk about a quick growth spirt in only two years! Congratulations on all of your fun, fascinating and tantalizing videos. Seeing this, you have really come a long way! Thank you and keep them coming!
Steve, I have enjoyed your videos so much and the music,you and others are helping me to get through these very uncertain times,may I wish you and the other viewers " Good Health".Best Regards
Roger Scott and to you Sir! Thanks so much for watching! I’m thinking to upload some random unedited footage just so all those of us who want to be up there above the clouds can see and hear it once more! Take care and thanks again!
I first saw your night out in Inverness video, 😂 and we have have binge watched your videos for the last couple of months. 😂 We love your fresh no frills style of travel. So now I’ve watched your very first video. Your likes and followers have spiked. Keep going. We look forward to lots more 😃
Ah, the first one. I had watched it after all! A nice start. I've been watching for a while now and keeping pace with the current videos but I'm all over the place with the back catalogue.
My grandad was in the royal navy from 1936 until 1948 he was stationed in Scapa Flow in 1944 twin daughters where born in Belfast and he did not get to see them until late 1945 at the time such this was normal I'd like to go there sometime thank you for the video
Loganair is a great wee airline. I was working down in Norwich for nearly 6 months last year and did 4 return flights to Edinburgh and back with Loganair in that time. 2 return flights on the Dornier 328 and 2 return flights on the Embraer 145 (I’m sure that was the numbers for both but I could be wrong) Flew up and down last Easter weekend and we were given wee Malteaser Easter bunnies instead of caramel wafers - nice touch I thought 👍🏻
Sandra Brownlie ahhh that’s Loganair all over - always great little touches and such friendly staff on flights and in reservations. Love it! Thanks for watching :)
I used to fly on an Embraer jet from Bristol to Norwich and it was a very impressive craft. I'm moving to Scotland as soon as I can and am going to fly many local routes and also do a lot of sea journeys on my bucket list.
Great airplane the Saab 2000. I used to fly one in Switzerland for the company Crossair which later became SWISS International Air Lines. Take travelling around at this time.
Very good inaugural video, Steve. I love airports and planes but I think I prefer them on video with a good commentary. Great job! I've still to experince Loganair but I remember well when British Caledonian was Scotland's airline!
Hi Steve. It’s a sign of a great channel when being “late to the party” I am smitten and just have to binge watch ALL of you videos from the very first. Wish me luck. 🤞👏👏👍😎
Thanks for this, we live there in the Hope and it’s nice to be able to picture the flight my husband has taken! Glad you enjoyed your stay there with us...
Well - finally made my way to your first video! Which I guess is really my 281st! Only took me 2.5 years. Congrats on 5 years almost to the day mate! Btw I just noticed the Brittany Ferries one is up to 1 million views, so you’ll be sailing with them again soon I guess 😂 Now to see if I can watch all of Scott’s back to the beginning!
Very interesting Steve...brings back many memories. Have you flown to Fair Isle yet? Loganajr used to fly us from Sumburgh to Fair Isle (about 20 minutes provided the sheep on the Fair Isle runway cleared quickly) in a Britten Norman Islander whenever IBA (ITV) staff visited the joint IBA/BBC TV relay station (it was the old radar station and is now owned/operated by Arqiva). We stayed in the station in comfortable beds. Lovely people on the Island but if it was too rough for the single-crewed Islander to take us off we had a most uncomfortable three/four hour journey back to Shetland in the Good Shepherd fishing boat based on the Island. Nearly 40 years ago but still very fresh in my memory! More of the same please...I have thoroughly enjoyed your trips so far! Regards, Rob.
Rob Mannion Thanks so much for watching Rob and for the awesome reply too! The bit about the sheep had me laughing out loud :) I’d love to go to Fair Isle, seen it from a distance, sometimes just a flicker of the lighthouse at night, but that just makes me want to go even more. I saw a bbc documentary on it recently. Had considered taking a boat, but if the flight is still running, that’s the one for me! Foula is another island on the radar (and St Kilda) ohhh so many dreams! I’ll try and make it to at least one of them this year! Thanks again!
Decided having watched a handful of your videos here and there to go back to the very beginning. I'll now work my way through all the rest 😊 I might be some time and I'm looking forward to it 😊
Kirkwall, that's where they make my favourite single malt whisky ,, my local liquor store normally has a good selection of Highland Park. The distillery is on my list of " places to visit " ,,, hope fully I will be able to take my trip this year ,, your video clips are very well done indeed and I certainly enjoy them ,,, thanks.
munnjean cheers! I have an unopened bottle of Highland Park in the cupboard - this May be the time to open it and taste Orkney water! Thanks for watching :)
Stewart Campbell ha! That’s cool - I’ve seen so much change at Edinburgh airport, but I miss the old terminal when there was a big balcony to watch the planes as a kid. Aberdeen still certainly has that small feel about it!
@@steve-marsh yes I only flew out of Edinburgh for the first time two years ago with the wife and daughter. Smart looking airport. We used to only fly out of Aberdeen or Inverness whenever we went down south or on holiday as a kid. Not sure if you've been but the latter of if which is completely different now to the shed that used to be there in the old days....😂
Hi @SteveMarsh .. as most others, started somewhere recent, and then decided to just go back from the start and then (re-)work my way up. Kinda wanna know when Flinson arrived :P
Great shot, matey! Aye! Loganair looks cool and the airport and their fleet indeed cute! :D I love flying and missing it very very much lately! It's like a dream come true that you made such enjoyable vids about aviation! Count on me that I am going to watch them one by one! Capt.
Haha good luck getting through those old ones! There's nothing better to me than staring out the window of a plane, that never gets old and makes me want to step ashore at all those places far below :)
I really like flying out of ABZ Looks like a nice day for a flight to Kirkwall. Regrettably, I had to fly up in snow storm in January one year. Cured me of my fear of turbulence.
A lovely video somewhat spoiled for me by the speeded up take off and landing. Part of the enjoyment for me in these aviation videos is the runway roll and take off and the approach and touch down. Great scenery and flight. 👍
Cheers Chris, yes, it was my first review and at that time I hadn't developed my own style yet and was kind of copying other videos I'd watched over the years. This speeded-up stuff is not something I'd do now, I'm actually a bit embarrassed by it, we live and learn! Cheers for the feedback.
Steve, glad to find your first video. I’d love to know how many views you had in say the first month. What a challenge and how well you have managed it. Bravo!!
Brilliant do u do this just for traveling I’m going to start it my self I do hotel reviews as well that’s not a lunch bag I use to work on the planes usually have it as a bin lol
winter time yeah, do it just for travelling, love it - I try to travel as much as I can and just thought I’d start filming some bits. Amazing - I’ll subscribe so I don’t miss anything, I wish you all the best! Thanks for watching :)
Bit late to the party here but just discovered your videos and I'm really enjoying them so far. In relation to the comment about the fighter plane towards the start, looking on Google maps, it looks to be in an area used for fire training etc so is probably there for learning purposes.
Many content creators on YT often express cringe when referring to their early work, especially their very first video. Sometimes that sentiment may be justified, if only a little, but in this case, absolutely not! Came here from your recent Stockholm visit in which you referenced your first video, decided to have a look and I have to say, the hallmarks of your talent were already well in evidence. Awesome stuff! And that NASA dedication flag was very cool. It's funny though, watching this and thinking of back then, all the places you had yet to see, and now, wondering what there is still to come. In recent weeks my gf & I have been watching more and more of your past videos, I think next weekend it'll probably be a binge watch. :D She said she likes your voice tone and manner, also your frequent Scottishisms (she's from Dumfries, she loves it when you use quirky expressions for things). Hello from Edinburgh! :) I was amused by your video about the White Lady in Corstorphine, I'm just up the hill from there. Btw, your mystery trip to London and back in a day for Alicja was hillarious. :D
dromadrosis yes, I fear there would be no way back for them, but they were flying to some essential routes as the only carrier, so someone will need to take these up full time. Rarely had an airline been so relied upon!
Hi there Steve, I have dug deep to find your first video. I’m really enjoying it. Could I ask if you are now a full time UA-cam content creator? Best wishes from Mornington, Victoria 🇦🇺👍😃
BorneanWingz thanks so much! And also for the sub :) I really love Orkney, so much history and beauty in those islands! I really need to go back and do the inter island hops - those flights look awesome :) thanks again for your kind comments!
I'm just curious if the airport and airlines are this unpopulated typically, or did you deliberately try not to film people? I've flown internationally for forty years all over and never seen this few people in an airport (okay maybe a couple of times) or airlines.
Steve you seem keen on flight ✈️ you might want to come up see our 737:800 NG its actual size with wrap round screen everything accurate the way it should be if your interested get in touch
@@steve-marsh steve i cant send photos on this but the nose cone is the actuall size of the 737800 ng .So when you are in it its exactly the same as the real one .We know its accurate because we have a friend who flys the real one for dubai .When you go for a flight because you have wrap round screen you absolutely feel as if your in the air .It was built entirely by my friend to say hes a wizard with electrics is an under statement … just get in touch ill send you photos .We are anoraks so we fly it as its done with all the proper flow charts so its not just push button and go
maria cornwallis thanks for the feedback. My first ever attempt at a video on UA-cam and it’s getting slated. I can only do my best in tricky circumstances with bad audio, background noise and multiple clips stitched together. I really didn’t realise UA-cam could be so mean.
@@steve-marsh I don't think people mean to be mean, it's just that the whole point of watching these sorts of videos (if you are an aircraft enthusiast) is to experience the flight, and that includes the sound of the engines, flaps, undercarriage, ambient cabin noise etc. Music is OK for scenic shots on the ground or maybe boring parts of the flight but during take off and landing I suggest it is better to let the plane make the soundtrack! Anyway I have subscribed so I can watch more videos from you.
DerekGM6 thanks so much for the support! I just took it a bit to heart because it was my very first video and I try my best. I do take stuff on board though, and will try to develop a balance of style, but it’s just a wee hobby and I have to be happy with the content myself and remember that different people like different things. Cheers for watching, cheers for the sub!

No words. You can see how far you have come Steve. Keep doing the content, we love it.
Who is here because of Steve's recent trip to Stockholm? 👋
Me😀
Me too
Me too, but what shall I watch when I have watched them all? I am having to ration myself!
After binge-watching your channel for the past few weeks, I thought I'd go back to the beginning and do the rest in order. 😊❤

2am on a Tuesday morning and I'm watching a video of a man flying to the Shetland Islands 😁 and I'm enjoying it!
John Molloy haha amazing! Don’t worry I tend to sit on YT until similar times too 🤷🏼♂️ we’re in the same zone 😆
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thought Orkney is in the Orkney Islands not the Shetland Islands?

Great adventure 🎉
I remember driving into Aberdeen in 2016 and seeing those large passenger helicopters flying to and from the North Sea. An interesting place.
Yeah, a lot to see there, very different from regular airports!
Thanks for this! I'm moving there soon, and this will be a regular flight!
Great video. I've been on the Pentalina ferry to St Margaret's hope and it feels like you are flying.

Looks like a nice day for a flight to Kirkwall.
Regrettably, I had to fly up in snow storm in January one year. Cured me of my fear of turbulence.
Fun video .. sad to see the FlyBe Planes, I really liked that airline, you are inspiring me to go places!
Ann McDermott yas! Hopefully we can all get out and about soon! I know, I really loved Flybe and it was always such a friendly airline :(
Thanks for the video Steve, I was wondering what that flight would be like. Cheers Roger 👍
Thanks for watching my very first video! Feels so long ago!

great plane, the S2000

On this Thursday, checking out Steve's first UA-cam Video. Pretty cool.
Ohhh Frank, I'm scared to watch the old ones again :D
The Scottish flag that was on the space shuttle really was cool!!
It really was eh! Thanks so much for watching :)

I'm just curious if the airport and airlines are this unpopulated typically, or did you deliberately try not to film people? I've flown internationally for forty years all over and never seen this few people in an airport (okay maybe a couple of times) or airlines.
Aberdeen was certainly very quiet for this flight! Generally I try to show things as they are, so won't go out of my way to avoid showing people.
The beach is Waulkmill
Colin Murphy-Dodkins cheers for the info and for watching!
Steve you seem keen on flight ✈️ you might want to come up see our 737:800 NG its actual size with wrap round screen everything accurate the way it should be if your interested get in touch
Please give me more info - this sounds fantastic!
@@steve-marsh are you on messenger steve
@@steve-marsh steve im on messenger just look for picture
@@steve-marsh steve i cant send photos on this but the nose cone is the actuall size of the 737800 ng .So when you are in it its exactly the same as the real one .We know its accurate because we have a friend who flys the real one for dubai .When you go for a flight because you have wrap round screen you absolutely feel as if your in the air .It was built entirely by my friend to say hes a wizard with electrics is an under statement … just get in touch ill send you photos .We are anoraks so we fly it as its done with all the proper flow charts so its not just push button and go
Ah yes, early days with musak.
You look young 😂
I was enjoying that till the unnecessary stupid music started
maria cornwallis thanks for the feedback. My first ever attempt at a video on UA-cam and it’s getting slated. I can only do my best in tricky circumstances with bad audio, background noise and multiple clips stitched together. I really didn’t realise UA-cam could be so mean.
@@steve-marsh I don't think people mean to be mean, it's just that the whole point of watching these sorts of videos (if you are an aircraft enthusiast) is to experience the flight, and that includes the sound of the engines, flaps, undercarriage, ambient cabin noise etc. Music is OK for scenic shots on the ground or maybe boring parts of the flight but during take off and landing I suggest it is better to let the plane make the soundtrack! Anyway I have subscribed so I can watch more videos from you.
DerekGM6 thanks so much for the support! I just took it a bit to heart because it was my very first video and I try my best. I do take stuff on board though, and will try to develop a balance of style, but it’s just a wee hobby and I have to be happy with the content myself and remember that different people like different things. Cheers for watching, cheers for the sub!
@@steve-marsh Sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude
maria cornwallis no worries, appreciate it, sorry for taking it to heart! 👍🏼
