No Brasil aconteceu um acidente com meu amigo semelhante a este. O passeiro se assustou em um curva lenta para o pouso ele nunca voou antes. Agarrou os comandos e derrubou o avião. O passageiro faleceu e meu amigo sobreviveu e ganhou um processo.

the grunting sound, possible the passenger had some kind of seizure?

Back in the 1950s we used to go to Margate for our annual holiday. As a young lad I was thrilled by the sight and sounds of the USAF stuff that suddenly appeared over the top of the cliffs, any dogs on the beach literally went barking mad!

So sad to see a abandoned airport in such a bad state. A shame it did not stand the economic bad weather. Well I think it were economic reasons to close this airport. And the KLM F27 is also history. KLM replaced all Fokker with Embraer jets. Btw we have also an abandoned airport terminal. It is at Lelystad Airport abt 20 km north east of Amsterdam. It was a GA uncontrolled field, but was transferred into a full airport as addition to Amsterdam Schiphol airport. The terminal and parking areas were built and the small tower (with only info services) was made higher and an ILS was installed with complete ATC. That ATC is still there but the passenger planes never came. The final political decision still has to be made, however there is a lot of opposition against the airport, and it looks that the current new government is against the opening with passenger flights. But we will have to wait for the final decision on that.

Can’t wait for it to reopen!

Great stuff. Love those grass airports. Ive had 2 open cockpit airplanes and I DID NOT enjoy flying either one; too much reality of height for me. Do you guys have to pay to land at every airport ? Or whats the deal with that ? Thanks !

Flew these regularly at St Athan (ex-1344 Sq. ATC, Maindy Barracks)....lovely memories

Delightful! Thanks for taking us along. I read an article back in the 70's (It may have been 'Flying' magazine) written by an American pilot who flew the Slingsby glider in the U.K. and how he fell in love with the aircraft and flying in the U.K. I've always wanted to fly it. If I ever can make it back to the U.K. flying with Kamil in the Sling would be a must do. I'll drop a line to an online travel vlogger from Scotland who loves flying. I've been encouraging him to take his first flying lessons and I think he would do well to vlog and log his first flight with Kamil.

I loved playing MSFS until i started flying for real. I play every now and again but it's just not the same.

Don't ya just love getting someone awesome in the tower. Now if only I could afford to get one of those planes here in the US. I had to give up my training when dad sold his plane.

How many landings / take-offs did you put in your logbook 😂😂

That was so interesting! I always find it so sad seeing an airfield die. Such a shame. The blood made me laugh!🤣🤣. Great content yet again.

I had the good fortune of doing a practice PAR at Manston which was fun, including having to expedite the landing as a Phantom was coming in behind to do a practice on their arrester wire.

Manston will have an airshow on 16/17 August 2025

Very enjoyable, thanks mate! Looking at the overlaid markings near the end of the video, does that Airstrip get used for some sort of racing? Kinda looks like Drag racing lanes ha ha. Cheers.

They never knew what to do with Manstone. Shame its got everything.

Hey Terry I live in Portsmouth never been I a small plane b4 and was wondering if you can show us around your sport cruiser??

Wow, what a runway 😮

Interesting place and it looks like you had a good time, I expected the fake blood and writing on the walls to be the product of teenage vandals but it's cool that it came from when it was used as a movie set.

Great video Terry! I had my first R22 trial lesson at Manston in 2013 and was lucky enough to fly amongst a spitfire, a hurricane and a 747 all within 1 hour. A few months ago I overflew it as a waypoint on my solo land away flight (that massive runway is hard to miss! 😅) very glad to hear about the future plans for the airfield. I guess your app came in handy for the multiple TO/landings? Hope all is well and keep up the good work.

Thanks mate, this video brought back some amazing memories! I stayed at RAF Manston on Annual Camp as an Air Cadet in the late 80's and is where I did my first Air Experience Flight in a Chipmunk- barrel rolls, stall turns, and loop-the-loops all performed by little me (obvs with the help of the actual pilot) over the town's power station cooling towers and Ferris wheel on the pier. I also did my one and only helicopter flight there in a RAF SAR Wessex. But the thing I remember most vividly was a C-130 on the apron late at night. The amount of noise it made was insane. Great to hear it's reopening!

Damn that's so cool! I remember exploring one of the abandoned 747's there many years ago with a group of friends. We arrived in the dead of night and snuck in to it to take photos. Then sure enough because of me posting it online, everyone else did it too! 😂 One of the best nights of my life, sat in a 747 cockpit and having a thermos of tea!

maybe the rod came disconnected after touching down fell off and straight up is where the flap thing automatically goes when its no longer connected

It'll be reopening again and I can't wait! I was the guy who started off the original Save Manston Airport group. 10 years finally down the line we got the good news it'll reopen. I love this video thank you for this

Massive potential for the airport and the people of Thanet. Wish it and them well for the future.

Another great video Terry! Best wishes from France. Hoping to come over in the Spring with my Jodel and a few other Jodel mates. It would be great to catch up with you and Jodel Flyer! Destination Duxford…

Aviation is a self-cleaning oven. This plane with 31 hours training and no instrument rating will serve as the EasyOff

Thanks for the video Terry. It was a great day and we were so lucky to have a guided tour. The airport is such a great asset; I hope we can reopen it again some day.

Think its insane when the UK is desperate to expand Heathrow when they could just modernise Manston into a new international airport

Great video Terry. Hope you had a discount for quantity on the take offs and landings😲🤣 Old airfields are quite spooky aren't they🤔😲 I see that the old Vickers Supermarine airfield at South Marston, isn't to be reinstated, even with Honda now gone. It's going to be warehousing, not a city/regional airport - a shame as Swindon is rotting from the inside out and gearing up for 15 minute city status (via grants after letting everything go to ruin) 🙄💔🤕 Looking forward to your museum tour upon your return 👍🙏🤞😊

Yep, been there done that etc! Worse if there's cow 💩present too. Constantly cleaning the aircraft, I wouldn't want to do it these days. Also better to fly without spats when it's wet/muddy/cut grass.

British Airways pilots used to practice touch and goes in the A380 at Manston.

Great again Terry, have you ever experimented with flap settings? 12deg was replaced by the original 15 in the POH.

That's a proper little aircraft that is!!

Great video Terry, I flew in to one of the charity days in May, great to be back there. Last time I was there was late 80s as a cadet. Went up the RAF control tower😊.

What a great experience! I hope the cargo base plans come good for the place. Looking forward to the next vid of course!!

Great video, Terry....I was stationed at Manston from January 1969 until March 1970...cushiest posting in the UK back in the day...Happy memories😊....I left Manston and was posted to a Lightning/Hunter station in Germany...I recognise that cockpit😉

Back in the mid 80s, I did my first solo after 9 and a half hours in a Piper Warrior, a very docile and easy and forgiving aircraft. I really couldn't imagine after 31 hours being let loose in this aircraft to most likely kill myself. It's definitely possible, but I personally believe that it would be very irresponsible.

Do you ever come up Leeds way?

Excellent Video Terry and great to catch up with you last week.

How many landing fees was that?

The Slingsby Sedburgh, a wonderful assembly of wood, wire and cloth and a delight to fly. It's been 55 years since I flew those and Mk. 3s. Real fun. Kids, join the Air Training Corps for this and more.

Great video, thanks Terry 😊

Only place in Europe the space shuttle could land.

I flew the Barge in the ATC back in 1975 out of West Malling near Biggin Hill, it’s a great old lady.

Why no IMC or nighttime? I’m from the US so maybe its just a difference in the required equipment but this appears to me to have all the required equipment for both assuming it has nav lights and strobe lights

261k thats mental 😅😅😅😅

How very rude :-) My first glider flight, in the early seventies and as a member of the ATC, was in a T21. Ancient, indeed! On the Lizard in Cornwall, if memory serves.

Back in the early 90s, I've actually had the opportunity to take a couple of introductory lessons, here in the states. It truly is a wonderful experience. We followed a hawk into a thermal, and spent a good hour in that thermal, taking it to 4000 feet, with that hawk always off our wing tip. Thanks for sharing this with us. :)
