    A very interesting video and it is very kind of you to share it with your supporters. Also well done for raising money to help others make their dream of flying come true. It has been a privilege to donate to your cause. Although I wasn't fortunate enough to have the finances to complete my training for a PPL, before living in Devon (I have lived in the Torquay area since 2004), I used to help out at the Tiger Club when they were based near Ashford. It is therefore interesting to read that you are in Kent, John. 👍🙂

    Brilliant Jon. A superb aviation effort as well as a fundraising and logistical one. The formation stuff must have been pretty cool. It’s funny how people find Barton stressful, I can understand why but I think learning there took away the anxiety. Plus soft runways isn’t an issue with a heli 😜🚁👍

      @TheFlyingReporter  2 місяці тому

      Thank you Rory. Yeh Barton is interesting. A lot going on there. A late tailwind call on a performance limited wet/soft runway. A busy environment too. But as you say, everyone’s home airfield is always very familiar. Some would find Redhill a challenge I suppose.
