    Flew in the chipmunk a number of times out of Manston in the early 90s as an air cadet. Lovely plane. Most memorable flight was from RAF Sealand where we took off and did aerobatics over the sea by the blackpool tower. The pilot was a navy harrier pilot in between squadrons and was whistling cheerfully while we were doing stall turns and loops and barrell rolls and 14 year old me was in the back being compressed by the Gs and loving every second of it :-)

Watching back I was reminded just how magical helicopters feel, superb stuff. And....from a technical point of view - that was a bloody faultless edit I must say. Some wonderful details throughout. 10/10!!!!!!!

    Very nice Rory, all looking very professional. Good to see you all together and I was smiling for you all too (heck of a milestone achievement). And Tom too (he's a nice lad too) - it's a small world. Many years since I've flown into Oaksey - except in various flight Sims, always fun to land a FS 'Jet Ranger' there (in between the hangers to test my pedal skills lol!) - or at times a 'Merlin' (iirc Scouts and Apaches have landed at OP in real life). Looking forward to the next one!
    I knew what Ben meant, the 'door to doorness' of a helo is amazing, seems obvious, but the feeling is amazing, my first flight was in a Scout, with my buddy and dad and I felt the same as Ben.

      Hi Rory, the Cotswolds are lovely although becoming more and more crowded by the year (I put that down to the BBC TV program - ETTC). And Kemble/Cotswold AP, seems to get very busy too - plus three or so glider sites (Nympsfield, Ashton Down and Sandhill Farm), then there's Oaksey, Charlton Park, Rendcomb, then, Brize and Fairford (which will get a lot busier soon) - and avoidance of Highgrove (up to 2000'). I think some pilots underestimate how busy the area is.
      You'll remember that flight long after you've ferried lots of paying PX's about in the years to come. Nice to see Tom too - so funny that photo/video bomb, he was very stealth like lol!

    Absolutely brilliant stuff Rory . Loved every second of it . Ben and Daisy are delightful and I feel you have made friends for life there . I see that you are going to meet up with Jon Hunt , Ben , Tim Palmer and others at Halfpenny Green in August . My flight planner tells me it’s only 9,201 NM from HG to my local airfield here , any chance you could change your plans , it’s too not far in a R44 is it ? 😀😀.

      Thank you David - and yes they have become good friends already. Such a lovely couple. We’re very excited about the fly in - I’m sorry you’re too far away to come but there will be a live show from it on UA-cam so you’ll be able to watch. 👍
