10 SMALL GRASS STRIPS in 10 MINUTES Vol.2

[@Parkfarmtom]

I live at Park farm airfield and wasn’t into aviation when you come down but I love your videos. You’re great.

[@Parkfarmtom]

Also just for your information it is now on sky Demon.

[@ryanm.191]

I love the registration Goopy

[@ShortField]

🤣

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

I have a brew and sitting down to join your antics Terry. Woohoo, I've actually flown from Grove Farm in a microlight back in 1997.

[@ShortField]

Thank you Giles Grove Farm is lovely.

[@musoseven8218]

As I keep saying, to me, this is what flying is all about. Thanks Terry, please keep 'em coming 😊👍

[@ShortField]

Thank you, I agree if you have piped music in your crew lounge toilet you're in the wrong place 😂

[@porkorosso7885]

Wow. So much in 10 mins. Perfect 👍🏻

[@ShortField]

Thanks Vince couldn't have done them without you.

[@geoffreycoan]

Excellent video Terry, a great variety of different strips to visit. I’ve only been to 2 of this 10, so plenty more to add to the to-do list !

[@ShortField]

Thank you Geoffrey, best get stripping then :-)

[@geoffreycoan]

@@ShortField stripping, oo-er Mrs! Am currently waiting for a new pipe connecter for my master brake cylinder, so no short fields without any brakes 😩

[@stratotramp6243]

G-TOMJ / Sackville 'Represent'! Some courteous editing there - thank you! 🤣 Making a list for when I pass.

[@ShortField]

You knew I had to use it :-) Thanks Martin

[@JodelFlyer]

Nice format which is working well Terry. You said at the start of your Channel that it was an idea you were planning. Good to tick off those that I have done and list others I need to visit.

[@ShortField]

Thanks Tim, I'm trying to make the sort of videos that I would seek out when visiting new places. Already got another 10 ready to go but I want to show some in other parts of the country so need a few trips to the NW and Scotland.

[@rodneyskennedy3163]

Great video and information on these little landing strips.

[@ShortField]

Cheers Rodney

[@flyingwithmatt1986]

Brilliant video again Terry. Such a good idea this. Add Abbots Bromley to your list, final is over a lake.

[@ShortField]

Thank you so much Matt, I went to Barton for the first time today, that LL corridor is not fun on a busy day. I will deffo check out Abbots Bromley. Thanks again buddy.

[@flyingwithmatt1986]

@@ShortField We still need to meet up this year, I’ve just bought into a Skyranger syndicate at Sherburn. Hopefully will get me flying more hours.

[@frizzlefry5904]

Nice one.... more for us to explore.

[@ShortField]

Thank you Sir.

[@ForFunFlyer]

Awesome video on these strips. Helpful when I come over to visit the UK in PH-3G2 😉

[@ShortField]

Thank you Jolmer would love to meet up when you do come 👍

[@ForFunFlyer]

@@ShortField I'll keep that in mind 👍🏻 There are several other UK aviation vloggers I'd like to meet too, so we'll meet up for sure 😉

[@FlyingDarkLord]

Thorough, as usual sir! 😊👍🏼

[@ShortField]

Cheers oh Dark One :-)

[@InducedBank]

Lovely run down once again!

[@ShortField]

Need to get some northern ones in Mike.

[@kevchilton908]

Fantastic! Another amazing video, Terry 👌👏👏👏 Very informative and a great watch 👍

[@ShortField]

Love your always supportive comments Kev. We will have to meet up soon.

[@kevchilton908]

@@ShortField I’ll look forward to that Terry. Maybe we could meet up on a day when we’re both out flying? 👍

[@CJThePilot]

Thanks again Terry, another excellent video and very thorough! Incredibly handy for me, so I can compile a list of future destinations for when I start flying the smaller Cessna 150 and possibly an Ikarus C42

[@ShortField]

Thanks Chris, I look for these approach videos when I'm going to new places, hopefully they will become a resource for our community. Really appreciate the view and kind comment.

[@grahamlees4394]

another brilliant set of strips. well done!

[@ShortField]

Thank you Graham, trying to build up a little resource.

[@gwynsea8162]

Kitty hawk 16/34 normally sweet. Trouble is that there isn't a runway into the prevailing wind and the sea breeze whistles thorough most summer days at 60 degrees off each runway. 28 is particularly nasty with rotor off the house and hangar. Just about 30 feet off the ground it all gets interesting...

[@ShortField]

I thought it was just me, you're right I've visited a few times and the wind has always been nasty.

[@LeeRussell]

Excellent content Terry - Enjoyed that 👍

[@ShortField]

Thanks Lee, have you visited any of these?

[@LeeRussell]

@@ShortField I haven’t, but it has given me a few ideas 😃

[@Adam-ix9kp]

Great video! I’m UT with 10 hours or so logged for my PPL (A), trying to cram a lot of theory in due to having surgery and not back flying as of yet. There’s an airfield near me in Scotland called Balado (grass strip) EGA5 which I think would be a great addition to the next series! Keep up the great content :)

[@ShortField]

Need to get up that way Adam, good luck with the training

[@markzzzz741]

Another good one Terry. Was based at Stoke Golding a few years back. Only comment I'd add is it could get soft in the middle after rain. Oddly this is the highest point and has once an ancient track run across it. It was also associated with the battle of Bosworth field, the road next to it is Roman, so quite some history there.

[@ShortField]

Oh great info Mark thank you, hopefully I got most of it right? Thanks as always for the wonderful support and excellent comment.

[@845SiM]

Great video, going to try a few of these in msfs 2020. Been looking for some small strips to do a tour round the uk. Big fan of the smaller aircraft, mostly the fox 🦊, started having lessons before covid in a small Icarus, from membury, great ultra light.

[@ShortField]

MSFS2020 is awesome for strips I did a little video of using them for real world flying here kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooqsfqaujNOqnKM it's from last year and things have only got better since then. Good luck with the lessons.

[@lukesteven2397]

Very inspiring videos, thank you. Have you been in to Sibson (EGSP)? :)

[@flyingkub]

I like the 10 strip format. When talking of Grove Farm you need to say which one as there are two the other is near Retford!

[@ShortField]

Oh didn't know that about Grove Farm, thanks Algy.

[@flyingkub]

@@ShortField the other Grove Farm is listed in Lockyears Farm 'Strips' and Private Airfields Flight Guide.

[@ShortField]

@@flyingkub I've given up on Lockyears even the latest one is totally out of date, rather rely on SkyDemon and if not on there do my own homework.

[@flyingkub]

@@ShortField I know what you mean but several airfields have fallen off SkyDemon that are still open.

[@wasted-blaster.]

Would you reccomend this type of flying to those who hold or are only able to gain a LAPL as gaining a full PPL maybe beyond them time wise or finically?

[@ShortField]

Of course it's not about money more experience. LAPL is a great licence for fun flying.

[@ThePhobicFlyer]

Another great video Terry!! 👍😃 Totally engaging with some fantastic commentary as usual. I’m so glad I found your channel mate! What do you reckon the Sport Cruiser is costing you for fuel per hour out of interest?

[@ShortField]

Cheers Andy. SportCruiser burns around 18-20 lph so around £45 an hour in fuel at todays mad prices.

[@ThePhobicFlyer]

@@ShortField thanks Terry. Wow. That’s really good, compared to a PA28-180. The Cruiser has so many things going for it👍

[@lucywucyyy]

do you ever fly in the west country or the north or just around london?

[@ShortField]

Well being based in the south east means I visit a lot more in that area, although I am trying to do my next set of fields from other parts of the country. Thank you for the great comment and watch.

[@lucywucyyy]

@@ShortFieldi il stay tuned

[@ShortField]

@@lucywucyyy thank you

[@perth1018]

Again, where can I find these in MSFS

[@ShortField]

I’ll pop together a list for you when I get back from vacation 👍

[@Paradyski]

Sandy Airfield is tricky

[@ShortField]

Tried and failed I found those trees to be very off-putting. They have a longer runway unobstructed but it's as rough as a ploughed field.

[@gwynsea8162]

You've got to find a better way of explaining facilities! 2/10 means none we've discovered.. so what does 3 or 4 mean? Perhaps better to list them.. bog, tea, coffee, camping etc

[@ShortField]

Thanks for the excellent feedback Gwyn. I may have to rethink how I do these in future but what I'm trying to say is farm strips, by their very nature, don't have facilities and that is what you should be going for. If you want a nice cafe and don't want to get your shoes dirty go somewhere else. I was thinking uncut field 1 star, cut field 2 stars, cafe, posh toilets, and something good to do maybe 9 or 10, what do you think?
