  I hope this video is useful to students and experienced pilots alike. Please bear in mind the footage of Brize has been approved and published with permission from the relevant persons. Please also remember this is not the perfect flight. I had only 60 hours logged when this was recorded. Recording yourself is an excellent tool for debriefing and self improvement, so please keep the comments constructive. Thank you!

  Lovely! That runway at Bristol is so huge, you can't even see the far end of it when you touch down. You greased that landing!

  Super video, reminds me of happy times in the 1980s.<br><br>My dad was based - farmers field - just in that sharp corner just outside outside of Brize Zone near the Lechlade. Their circuit turning point was a barn pretty much in that sharp corner section.<br><br>Back then Brize, Fairford, Kemble, Wroughton, Lynham were all active military bases. A trip to Eg Thruxton required transit and penatration requests lots of times in a relatively short flight and there wasnt often the choice to avoid them and go the long way around. Then there was Boscombe etc after Marlborough.<br><br>I was happy in the right seat steering and listening to dad endlessly in touch with all the MATZ controllers. A busy time for a quick trip out and ham egg and chips! Always nice to catch up with great guys like the late Barry Dyke though. A calm, warm, lovely guy, with the right level of assertiveness, long time CFI Western Air (Thruxton).<br><br>My dad used to fly with his boss out of South Marston (Supermarine) in a Twin Comanche. Honda took it over and ruined it aesthetically 🙄😄 then they left in recent times, going to be used for warehousing. Swindon could do with a small airport if it wants city status but sadly the elected and unelected oligarchy always seem to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in that regard 🙄🙄😄😄😕

  Nice to see my local airfield on video. The fire crew do a great job there. Good radio work there. You know what it is? A lot of low hours pilots are scared of controlled airspace.

  RT is spot on! I know 4 years ago, but what did you use to improve your RT?

  CJ great video, quick question, what audio recording device do you use and how do you sync the SkyDemon with the actual video? Thanks!
