Terry, perfect video mate! It was a great day and I really enjoyed the flying and the museum. Those AA guns look huge on the video. Good job I landed in the opposite direction. 😅. Happy New Year and looking forward to more shenanigans in 2025. 🎉

Lovely part of the country to fly. I did a trip back in May 2023 from Cromer to Wingland on the paramotor on a beautiful sunny day and flew over Weybourne en route..

Nice airfield! Thanks Terry

Nice video, thanks 👍

You lucky man, I've always wanted to fly in a light aircraft like yours! Some years ago before he died I took my Father on a "memory lane trip" to this very area including the nearby museum. He served in the Royal Artillery in his National Service (late 40's) and actually enjoyed it. So much so that after he was de-mobbed he joined the Territorial Army's Anti Aircraft Unit (not sure if that the correct title) They used to train at this AA gun site where they came several times a year to train and practice, another similar one was in Tywyn in Wales .

Sadly I had to abandon a potential flight to Weybourne in November as the weather wasn't up to it - but I'll try again for Spring. One thing to add is that the North Norfolk Coastal Path runs along the coast adjacent to the airfield and it's an absolutely stunning walk; if you get the chance to fly in, walk out of the airfield and on the road for a short bit to then rejoin the path where it's a good few hours up to see the seals up at Blakeney Point. Well worth a day out on its own.

Great Vlog Terry. Always wanted to learn how to fly since I was a kid (just turned 60) and has never been financially possible so really enjoy watching you and your exploits with the missus. She bought me a short flight in a Cessna at Duxford for this year so can’t wait to do that. Happy New Year to you!

Good one Terry. Chris in Devon.

After this I went and printed off the A5 listening squawk cards and laminated them for my cockpit. Such a useful thing to have. Great video Terry 👏

The perfect antidote to this miserable grey weather! 🙏🏼👍🏼

Another great video! I’ve just had the pleasure of taking my 85 year old mum and my sisters (and family) for a fly over Christmas, as they are over from Uk. Hubby and I were wondering how you were able to use a drone on the airfield. Not something you could do here without copious amounts of paperwork!

I did not bother to view the whole video because the headline is a blatant falsehood. While getting a license to fly this aircraft in 31 hours is possible, but only for superman. The average time to pass the flight test is much closer to 50 hours and that is only for extremely competent individuals who can afford to spend those hours in a matter of only a very few months, ant those hours only represent the actual flight time, not the total time dedicated to study. the worst lie is that a third class FAA medical, (the minimal one required of every single private pilot) is required prior to get the license. After a single third class is obtained then the "no medical required" phase can be done. That "no medical" is actual an check-up by your personal physician who must attest to your medical status and that you are fit to fly. Certain medical issues are not acceptable and you will be refused. The FAA website will give you the nitty gritty, but suffice it to say that one must be in good shape medically to get the "Basic Med" pass. And, the aircraft is the real deal, Fast and capable, but not for beginners.

👍

Another one for my list. Looks like a bumpy runway but no problem for the old cub

I’ve been to Weybourne a few times and it’s a lovely strip and the model aircraft flyers that usually operate there are a friendly bunch. The museum is great, loads to see and very reasonably priced. And if you continue past the museum into the village, lots of cob stone houses and another good cafe. Definitely worth a visit with a great sea approach as you showed. I tend to fly back along the Norfolk coast, great views and in the summer a big seal colony

Just down the road from us in Sheringham

Nice airfield. But those guns really awesome. However that one in the middle seems to be almost on the rwy centerline. And that barrel is quite long. Better not approach too low...

I flew in to Muckleburgh in a Jodel D112, it's a great little museum, well worth a visit by road or by air.

Another great. video thanks

It’s a great airfield with an interesting museum. They do have open days when they drive some of their tanks around and it was the home of radio controlled Tiger Moths during the war which were target towing to help train anti aircraft gunners. Another interesting video Terry. Happy New Year

Excellent video thanks

Great fun Terry. I actually considered flying here just after I got my PPL as had family staying nearby… my spidey sense kept tingling that this was probably one to leave until I’ve got a bit more experience and I’m glad I did!

What a cracking airfield Terry - thanks for taking us along 👍🏻👍🏻

Another enjoyable video Terry, thank you. Great footage of the guns 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Terry it is a problem around Weybourne often aircraft fly along the coast site seeing and do orbits of it, often at around 1000ft. I normally fly past at 2500ft and have seen Ofspray helicopters there and all sort of light aircraft doing low fly bys. I do love the approach from the sea but I have done the landing more often from inland 😞

Super footage all around, much appreciated. Best of New Years to you and everyone here from the USA 🎉

34 Is a horrible direction to land from, dropping in over the trees and realising the ground falls away and you're still really high and then only being able to see the sea and not the end of the runway as you franticly try and stop! lol

Love watching your videos and this was excellent. I love planes and fly my RC planes but I'm terrified of flying myself but wish I could do that :)

Thank's Terry for another fab video, my Father was stationed at Weybourne in 1941 as an anti aircraft gun instructor and I even have a piece of a target shot down there by my father's crew on 9th January 1941!! He was previously stationed on the Isle of Grain during the BofB and I am in possession of a data plate "liberated" from a shot down Dornier 215 during that period....Wishing you a peaceful and prosperous New Year🙂

Lumpy runway

Excellent, nice dose of Shortfield to get us through another un-flyable day! Cheers Terry.

Lovely vid and destination Terry! As you say - uncontrolled airfield - down side - anyone can do as they want - plus side - you get to film from an 'active' runway - and with a drone too! 😁 Sure as hell couldn't do any of that at a controlled airfield - at least not without a lot of written permissions, insurance, NOTAM's etc!!

Excellent filming , nice little strip

Dude but you fly under the sun!!! imagine flying at 12am to 1 pm, the sun is at its peak

Another great video and fascinating airfield Terry, thanks for sharing. Can you remind me, re MATZ, if above the 3000' feet (relative to QNH/QFE), is it still courtesy to give them a call? Also, just as idle curiosity, please don't answer if I'm being too personal, roughly how many hours a year do you get in (I suspect most are in the summer months). I ask as the wx seems very odd these past two years or so (and yes the Met Office have admitted that our skies are being sprayed/weather manipulated). I don't know if it was a camera issue or optical illusion, but I couldn't see that windsock, is your middle name "Hawkeyes"? Have you got that painted on the side of the aircraft as your call-sign?🤔😀😀 Good spot! Keep well, keep safe. The season's greetings and a happy New Year to you and yours🎄🎄🎉🎉💜💜👍👍🙏🙏

Nice one Terry ... enjoyed that. Keep up the good work .... Happy New Year mate .... Chris @ Belle Vue

Thanks for that, its a great place to visit. Last time joining overhead windsock favoured 34 so went round circuit and on final, things felt a bit fast….it had swung round 180 and was favouring 16! Down 34 and teardrop out over the sea and back in over the guns. Awesome place😊

Another great video, I’ve never landed on grass, your videos are instructive 👍

Hi Terry. Splendid shots of the approach. Great video. Thanks.

Really interesting video - been meaning to visit that museum for years as keep walking past it on the coast path. Great to see that stretch of coast line from a different perspective also!

The USAF from Mildenhall use the airfield with the Ospreys for insertion and extraction of troops exercises.

It was a few years ago but Ive been there in the Robinson.

Most airfields have Flight Restriction Zones, a 2 or 2.5 nautical mile radius boundary (depending on the airport) that restrict the use of drones. For the benefit of casual viewers who may be ignorant of the regulations it would be wise point this out and either this particular airfield is not subject to the regulations on drone flying, or that you had obtained permission to fly a drone within the zone.

Thanks Terry, great video... and those guns!

You know what will happen in case you forgot to pay the landing fee 😨

Great video and brilliant footage Terry, that final approach over the coast was excellent 👌🏽🛩️

They could maybe lower the guns a bit. Seems unnecessary :)

Hi Terry. Thanks for the memory of my visits to Weybourne. in those days, the old airfield manager used to pick you up in an armoured car and take you to the tank museum provided you called ahead in advance. What an experience! My first departure on the down sloping runway was a bit of a white knuckle ride as the end of the runway is not clearly visible from the start of the departure run and relief only set in when we reached the brow of the hill. I still have a picture of a Lancaster on the wall here which I purchased from the shop at Muckleburgh all those years ago.

Hi Terry, we're planning a 3-aircraft (Jodel) trip up from Arcachon (LFCH) to Norfolk in June 2025... Northrepps was already in the plan, now we might add Weybourne!

Thank you for the video 👍😊
