Lovely airfield - I used to skydive there back in the 80s.

Very special sunset flight. Great shot of Daisy filming it from her phone! I was very impressed when I have flown in there. Very smooth and no 'hill' landing. I have promised Karen that I will fly her in there for the Badminton Horse Trials which takes place in early May but of course was cancelled this year. (the weather was perfect on the days they would have been there) A very nice edit Ben, well done!

Fantastic flight Ben thanks for sharing. Lovely weather and views. Have you ever done esses and flown back through your own prop wash? Back in the day (1980s) a group of 2-3 aircraft/us used to fly in - and there were fly ins every year. As I say, you had some great people like Gary Numan et al flying in too - lovely guy, great musician. I think I may know the reason why PPR is tighter than it used to be, but it's not for mentioning here.
