Great video Ben! In a year ill be old enough to fly gliders and i cant wait. I wanna thank you cause you have been a huge inspiration to me :)

[@ForFunFlyer]

Hi Anton! 👍🏻

[@flyingkub]

Great to hear you have plans to learn to fly, gliding is agreat sport, with good club spirit and a briliant way to start flying. I started with gliders when I was in the Air Training Corpe and never regreted it.

[@antonwestergaard5211]

Great video Ben; a joy to relive that bit of formation we did! Looking forward to the future episodes ....

[@ForFunFlyer]

You were the guy in the other a/c? Formation flying is fun, right?! 😀

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

YESSS thanks for that mate - top evening

[@keirwilliams9361]

ForFunFlyer indeed I was!

[@ForFunFlyer]

@@keirwilliams9361 Ah, cool! Nice job, well done! 👍🏻

[@piealotflyer3731]

Fantastic video and the formation shots were excellent. Really enjoyed this one Ben and big thumbs up to the owner of the airstrip who supports GA. The strip is a little gem and looked stunning in the late afternoon sun.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Ah thanks so much. Yeh - he's awesome! Thanks for commenting 👍

[@BoB4jjjjs]

Still getting a light now and again, cool, enjoy your flying.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Thanks buddy! Absolutely.

[@BoB4jjjjs]

@@BenAtkinsonVideos You still got that good looking women with you, wow!

[@colinbrettell3136]

One of the best flights I've ever viewed, no no I always say that. Seriously, nice one Ben. I'm all caught up on your videos!!!

[@JodelFlyer]

Excellent video Ben. Great to see the aircraft comparison and pleased to see that Daisy is as excited as you to go flying. Glad each flight just gets better and better! 😎👏 👍

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Hey tim! Thanks again for watching and commenting. Yeh she loves it - I'm very lucky that's the case. I prefer flying with people. Thanks again buddy!

[@RoryOnAir]

Flying really is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. 😁 Fabulous air time air shots and Bowldown seems like a nice part of the world. 👍

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

It really is! Thanks mate - yeh it's stunning with the river Severn and Wales in the distance. Beaut!

[@benfliesuk9932]

An absolute BEAUTY mate! Got me pining for an evening bimble.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

OHHH mate you simply have to....maybe when its not so BOOMY BANGY RAINY

[@flyingkub]

Great fun video as normal.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Cheers bud

[@flyingscotsman5032]

Great video and flying Ben!. It’s good fun and good for your skills trying different Aircraft🛩👍

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Ah thanks mate - yes I like to fly all three fairly regularly, I'm definitely a better pilot because of that. Thanks for stopping by 😃👍

[@myflyingadventures2984]

Another great video. My QXC was cancelled yesterday so I took a quick flight from Gloucester to Kemble and we got in just before the 747 started it’s roll. Was a great bonus to see one leave. My third grass runway landing and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to returning to Kemble.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Ah sorry to hear that...but what a bonus to see that giant tear up the runway!!! I've seen the videos. Ah nice! Yes...I prefer grass...more forgiving for a start but really makes you hit the start of the runway! Great ! Thanks for commenting and watching

[@ranbirsingh7666]

Hi Ben, these videos coming thick and fast. Absolutely brilliant, always look forward to your videos.. Also can’t beat the English countryside 👍👌👌✈️✈️ .

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Thanks mate - thats great to hear. Might be a couple weeks till the next one! But I'm keeping' going !

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

Ben kettle on. Glad to see you back flying.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Thanks buddy! Great to be back

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

@@BenAtkinsonVideos sent you a PM with some interesting developments. I don't think I'm brave enough to video my test though..;)

[@flycory]

Loved it! 🤙

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Woah yeh dude thanks for watching! Just been watching your latest video - awesome work. Any tips ?

[@JoeRichardson02]

Nice one Ben, some great flying there!

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Thanks Joe - appreciate that dude!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Loved that Ben - thanks for posting as ever, getting me microlight curious....looking forward to your shoot out vid....ATB - Andy

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Always a pleasure! You must come for a flight, Andy. I love em, I must say. They're the future - I think!

[@steerwithmyrear]

Beauties. All of you!

[@LetsGoFlying]

Another corker (cricket pun perhaps?) You look very at home in the Eurostar now as well. Love the camera views in the Eurostar - they are quite unique and I do miss that. What a lovely strip that is also, and the fact that it’s owned by someone who is just passionate about the sport is incredibly rare. I’ll be sure to pop in next time I’m down that way. It looks like they make a huge effort to keep it in tip top condition.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Thanks sonny jim!!! Yeh the eurostar is awesome for air to air viz. The high wing planes are WAY better for spotting stuff below though! YES mate...we must fly in there together...it's great! And so many nearby too. Let get strippin'

[@daipower1]

Nice video again mate, makes me want to visit, not that far from Old Park Farm.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Ah thanks Dai...yeh do it! Not much there but perfect for a hop / short land away. Thanks for commenting and watching mate

[@CudHppr]

It really is the best hobby in the world.

[@FaluFluff]

Really enjoying your videos, subscribing now =) I have a couple of hours left in my training for an LAPL in a DA-40.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Hey! Awesome! Thanks so much 👏

[@dawn_patrol_1]

Awesome vid. You can’t beat evening flying. I don’t know why more people don’t do it! Try Garston Farm, they’re super friendly 🙂

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

I know - it's my favourite time to fly. Good point - the skies are usually dead! Bizarre. But im ok with that haha. Yes I must - that vagabond that features is based there so im gonna make the hope and try it out!

[@davidsmeaton3082]

Another nice airfield to add to my list of places to visit one day. I have to say I think the C42 was the best but maybe I am just biased :)

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

You should! It's great. Haha..well - comparison / shootout video coming soon (ish)...thanks for watching and commenting David!

[@ForFunFlyer]

Yeah, a new one! 😀 Of all 3 aircraft, I like the Eurostar the most! 👌🏻

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Thanks Jolmer! Ha yes.....it's a bloody good plane I must say...!

[@ForFunFlyer]

@@BenAtkinsonVideos Yes, very capable! 👌🏻

[@musoseven8218]

Nice one Ben! Would you say therefore that flying microlights is like playing golf? Each landing being akin to seeking a hole in one? LOL! Keep em coming.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Hey Muso! Haha....just like that. No - flying is easier.....!!!!!

[@musoseven8218]

LMBAO. Last time I played golf I got wet, thrashed, I thought 'this is ain't for me!'. There used to be car stickers in the 1980s, from the PFA, 'I'd Rather Be Flying!' Amen to that!

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Nice vid dude 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Thinkflite]

Awesome videos! You should enter the LAA video competition

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Ah thanks very much. I had assumed that was for LAA aircraft only!?

[@Thinkflite]

@@BenAtkinsonVideos So long as your a member and it's a permit aircraft, that will work :) or edit one with your friend with the RV6

[@jedwig61]

Another cool vid mate. I know you’re always asked about which plane you prefer, but how about what one of the famous three do you think makes the best platform for learning on?

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Thanks Jed. Yes that video of the shootout is coming up. Which answers that question! But - for learning I think the skyranger makes you do the most...work harder...particularly your feet with the rudder, so everything after that was easy! It's also forgiving !

[@CJThePilot]

How about that for a lawn??!! 😂 We all dream about a strip like that in our gardens eh?

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Ha don't we just ! have you been in there? Cheers buddy!

[@jasonboniface7054]

Another great video Ben, my question is why do you choose 26 grass at Kemble and not the hard runway to land on?.

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Hey Jason! Thanks for posting mate. I prefer the grass for a lot of reasons actually - it's less far to taxi (especially departing), it's more forgiving, it's good to practice hitting smaller runways. Though being based at kemble is AMAZING because through the winter you can always get up in the wet with the hard runway. You'll see me use it more in the winter. Thanks again

[@albierossouw3809]

Ben where can i download the gps that you use please

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Hey it’s called skydemon

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Nice vid dude 👍🏻👍🏻

[@BenAtkinsonVideos]

Ah thanks man, always good to hear from you mate 👍
