I love the stopping on your bike, getting the drone out, and going up for a look. That is brilliant Karl ! The 360 slow turn along with you narration is truly the best. It gives your viewers time to orient then absorb what we are seeing. Bravo !

Played in those fields behind Quarrendon. All the way to Buckingham road and the horse and Jockey. Found and played in ruins of what we called St Peter’s Church. Quarrendon School and our PE Teacher Mr Mayo used to delight in sending us on cross country runs along the the River Thame in winter often when it was in flood. This was the early 60s so memory a bit faded. Excellent video. 👍

I drove down the A41 from Bicester to Aylesbury on Monday evening (23rd). Only very light rain then, and I had a good run until I unexpectedly encountered several inches of water under the railway bridge by Aylesbury Vale Parkway station. Its a good thing the air intake on my car is quite high!

I was a small boy when I lived here. About 10 seconds in where the path is flooded was the location of the playground. We were all excited when the council fitted these hi tech expensive rubber tiles under all of the equipment. When the first winter flood arrived the rubber tiles were gone. It was no problem for us we went back to playing on the railway track and other character building activities 😂😂😂 it was the 80's

I lived in Quarrendon in the 80s, I was there for a lot of the building work that was done then. All day every day you could hear the banging of the piles being put in to support the buildings. Every year the Thame flooded, every year we wondered why they'd even thought of building there!

Excellent work. Thanks. We obviously need to keep building houses and thankfully most of these new builds on what looks like floodplains, seem to be high enough to avoid numerous disasters. But hopefully planning officers will insist on higher and higher bases and sufficient alternative drainage, because we are going to have to adapt to the reality of extreme weather events.

We don't need houses, we need to deport all those foreign vagrants we see walking about the town and housing estates. There are thousands of them, and don't give the government BS claiming they are essential workers.

That's what happens when you build on flood plains, I've been here 13 years , flooded football fields towards berryfields, and the lefthand side approaching the berryfields traffic lights, under the road bridge after Miller and Carter, blocked drains full of mud , council expect more and more council tax yet to less and less and less maintenance of the highways , absolutely disgusting

what do you expect if you build on flood plains and dont allow for new builds on good farm land!! Little infrastructure to cope with it With Labour looks like more of this ..lived in and around Aylesbury for 40 years...

From a causal overview, seems flood didn’t damage infrastructure or housing. Not a disaster if people are out pushing a pram

Exactly Brian. I live in Aylesbury and I think they need to stop building full stop. The roads cannot handle the traffic volume. (Slightly off subject)

My nan farmed in Grendon UW and I can remember 81/82 amazing floods that put this one to shame. Nothing has changed, other than landowners not being able to clean out ditches and drains. Enjoy seeing the footage, though! Thank you.

Thanks for watching. I remember the floods of that time. I can't remember which time of year it was. I'm guessing it's after the snow we had as it was particularly heavy that year. My house had long icicles hanging from the gutters and there were snow drifts in the garden.

@theresamarie1379 That was it. I remember walking up the road to a friend's house and it was absolutely freezing. I don't remember when the floods were though. Just a vague memory of those same fields in my video under water. There were no houses around then, not at Berryfields or Buckingham Park anyway.

And well done on the water features as well ... do they have puppet people as well and stick people models , on the streets ...is this a developer projection of living areas , or just a big mistake, or for future generations to aspire too ..oh ha ha ha ..come on work hard and this is what you will get ..ha ha ha ..mon deu!!! Please may this vision be rejected as living areas ..great filming of models though hard to get perspective etc...again well done ...
