Just spotted this, nice mess they making. I mean they could have just left us the runway and a cabin ! but then the new residents would complain I bet :| This was mine from years ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHWVnX-HnLKVipo

Lets hope we get to fly it again !

nice paintjob!

Does Thomas Shelby still live there? 😂

Ruined by the music. It's far too intrusive and loud

Great flight! Very nice landing as well. Question, do you play MSFS 2020 and if so which planes do you think are most lifelike? Being as you are a pilot IRL. Thanks. Will watch ur other videos now that ive seen this one.

It’s so sad that we are destroying our aviation history at an amazing rate. When it’s gone, it’s gone forever.

What a mess. It`s a great pity that we have such a "need" for extra housing...

Nice video , hope there’s more coming 👌

Where were you heading for when you had to turn back?

Nice vlog!

First visit BAe146 course at Woodford 1990 it was an operational airfield. Finally A320 simulator before retiring and was profoundly sad at the destruction of the factory and manufacturing buildings. Still thank you for a flash back to my 30 year career in commercial aviation. The A320 training facility is the building next to the Vulcan heritage site. Happy Days and many Nights.

Great to watch someone do in the real world what I've done in FSX, P3d and msfs loads of times. Must be intense flying in and out of a major airport.

In Warrington there are three swing bridges across the main roads to the south of town, and a high level road bridge. Two railway bridges, one is the west coast main line, and the other no longer carries trains as the line finished many years ago. Then there are the two Thelwall viaducts on the M6 motorway. I think a new road bridge across the canal should be built near Irlam to just north of Partington and would be ideal for traffic, especially HGVs in this industrial area getting to Sale and Altrincham, and would probably mean the end of the Warburton toll bridge with the silly 12p toll (even 20p is ridiculous) for vehicles under three tons as that is the weight limit. On the Irlam A57 bypass there are two bridges, one is the Liverpool- Manchester railway, but the other a mile further along in my opinion was unnecessary to be built as it carries nothing since this is another long gone railway line. I once witnessed a motorcycle going through the Irlam locks on the Salford side to get across to the Trafford side.

Do you know how to enter the place? I live close by and am curious to see it.

Hi Rob would it be possible to link this video to the Carbon Landscape Website as a resource for primary school children around the waterways in their local area? I work for Lancashire Wildlife Trust [email protected]

Just another example of the effect of Britain's engineering and industrial suicide

Wow that is an absolutely fascinating flight could you please upload more I cant wait your monotone delivery enhances the sweeping majestic landscapes

I went for a cycle round there the other day. I felt nothing but sadness. The housing estate looks like a theme park of 'ye olde England'. In the US I reckon it would have been retained and used for general aviation. Near Chicago there's a housing complex with its own airstrip. Pilots live there and they can get the plane out of the garage, taxi to the runway and fly away somewhere. I prefer to imagine Woodford like this! Great shots and many thanks.

Another nice video Rob

I've enjoyed some of your short videos, do you still fly with lomac aviators ? How do you find them ?

Nice video, a couple of questions. did you land with Sleap QFE set as altimeter showing 300ft ? Also what was your altitude when you were on the cross wind leg ? I am just trying to work out the pattern, should you of been at 1000ft QFE ? Thank again.

So sad to see a great airfield disappear :(

I go there!

Another piece of UK heritage ripped up and torn down.

beautiful views, so do you just go for a fly at your leisure? must be so nice to be away from the rest of the world on your own. be amazing to have a go pro on the outside of the plane

Doing some more footage of Warrington?

So beautiful! Thanks for sharing! New subscriber here, please return the favor!

hola 💞

Well they kept that quiet. Living in Wales means it is further along the motorway for us to get to Liverpool Airport, or Liverpool.

Great video 👍👍

Very interesting location. Beautiful flight and video. Cheers ✈️😊👍

Nice to see your onboard Captain

That’s great news. Congratulations and the best of luck for the future. Hopefully one day I will be able to fly as a career, so well done. 😊✈️👍

Wow. Awesome. Love it. Is this you? I had a flying lesson many years ago from Barton airfield. Then two years ago wanted to try again but too expensive so I purchased a drone and all, the rest is history. Love flying and creating the footage I do. Thanks for sharing. Cheers 😊✈️👍

It’s very sad to see Woodford like this. I did a lot of flight training there in 2005/2006 😩. The controllers were always really happy for student pilots to do circuit sessions as they didn’t have much else to do.

Does this aircraft deserve to be called 'The Flying Brick'? ')

Go on then .. you got me onboard ;) - nice flight

Great video. Did u fly yesterday?

ive got polar pro cinema series filters but not had chance to use them yet drones got banned when i was last im thailand so its just been a paper weight for the last 4 months

what drone do you fly and do you use nd filters?

hmm no shots of the Mersey Flat wrecks near the Mersey gateway

houses should of never been built on Woodford this site is one the most historic sites in the world

Very good vid

Great choice of music and editing- I liked 👋👋

Well done it was a great day for droning - I liked 👍

Well done great Scenery 👍👍

Great video. I have visited the boat lift many times but I’m yet to take my drone along with me, it’s on my list of things to do.

Excellent Video and Scenery 👍

Great Video I liked and Subscribed back 👍
