After so long with no flying and everything you have been thru, this series has been wonderful to watch.

[@StefanDrury]

Thanks Ivan, I do appreciate that. It's been really motivating and rewarding for me to do this flying challenge, I'm grateful for the kind words.

[@generickiwi]

Getting high with a couple of guys I met on the internet is something I thought I'd never do, but here I am, and I'm loving it! Another excellent leg of the trip lads, thanks for letting us all tag along.

Hey Stef, love this series! Got my PPL this week! 🥳Greetings from LOWL

[@desmondsouthwell3529]

Great to see you on the controls again, Stef, and with the fun and friendship between you and Phillipe, it is so enjoyable. Can see you are loving the trip around UK. So am I! Thank you both.

[@Jacob1234-c6r]

Stef, I think I remember speaking to you at Culdrose that day. Apologies if we had to restrict you at times with the military traffic, but if I remember it was a busy day! Hope you enjoyed South Cornwall!

[@StefanDrury]

You guys were amazing to us, thank you. We weren't sure how close to Lizard Pt we could get but you made it possible. Thanks for the great service and for helping make this possible for us. And thanks for organising that Merlin fly-by as well, those aircraft are huge! Fun to see up close.

[@quasar_33b]

@@StefanDrury I'm an aircraft engineer on the merlin's at Culdrose really cool to see them pop up in this video, we put a lot of blood, sweat and tears on those big girls, don't think people realise how big and powerful they are until they get close. Loved this series will be waiting for the next video and hope you both enjoyed Cornwall and the silly isles!

[@Dannsandiego]

You and Philippe make a great team, Stef. I'm really enjoying this series.

[@copperfield3629]

Loving the trip, getting to virtually spend time with you and seeing both the scenery and the cameraderie between the two of you... thanks heaps for sharing this with us. Best wishes for getting official approval to be pilot in command again soon!

Thanks for watching the videos, and for the positive words. Yes hoping to get back to the left seat at PIC one day but for now just so lucky to be able to enjoy an adventure like this.

[@lukemolloy2971]

Great to see you back in the sky Stef! I've been watching your videos for a while now and mentioned previously you inspired me to get back flying... and I can proudly say that yes I am. Thanks again for making aviation an adventure again! Loving this air safari you lads have accomplished

[@TezTalksMore]

Not only entertaining but educational too. Keep making great videos Stefan.

[@WingsOverTO]

Love this series, Stef. It’s great to see you back flying again. Coincidentally, just before you put this series out, my wife and I had been talking about hitting the 4 points of our country. Unfortunately it’s a bit harder to do in Canada. 😀

[@marsgal42]

Hmmm...Cape Spear, Point Pelee, Cape Columbia, the Yukon-Alaska border. That would be an amazing trip. I live in B.C., BTW. 🇨🇦

Great video Stef; good to see you back and the 2 of you really bond. So glad you made the scillies as I and a mate did it last month but came in from the other end on 32; quite a slope. Just for your entertainment we were in a Jabiru UL450 😁👍

[@StefanDrury]

That would be fun landing on the upslope, nice and easy to slow down but got to pick your aimpoint well I bet. Glad you're enjoying the series, thanks for following along.

[@stanleychamberlain685]

Great continuing account of your trip Stefan (and Phillipe),and pleased you have recovered from your treatment.Woolacombe beach off your port wing was a nostalgic reminder of ‘losing’ my sister on the same area ,fortunately well organised Life Guards soon found her building sandcastles.We still take our family there every year. They have a fly - in to Lundy Isle to the west each summer but,grass and rough there and not for a Cirrus.All the best. John

[@smith12whu]

Woolacombe is also me and my family’s happy place! We came back from holiday on Monday. @14:07 you see Morte Point just over your shoulder, every holiday I run there and stop to watch the waves!

Awesome series, Stef!

[@becsterbrisbane6275]

This is really cool to see from the air- another KZbinr I love is Geoff Marshall, who's actually travelled to Every.Single. Station. in the UK, starting from Lands End all the way to John o' Groats, and made an epic movie about it (it's on KZbin- 'All The Stations'). Loving all the travel vlogs!

[@StefanDrury]

I really didn't need another series to watch but just checked out Geoff Marshall's ATS channel and will am sure will get hooked on that. Thanks for the tip.

[@jasonrwilkinson9216]

Nice flight Stef and Phillipe! I loved going down to Lands-End the other year staying in Penzance, picked the South coast up at Weymouth all the way to Land-End orbited the visitor centre like you did (had to avoid Culdrose due to traffic) then the next day routed around the Northern coast line onto the edge of Bristol's airspace, truly spectacular coastline. BTW the Menai Straits and Caernarfon and views of Snowdon are also a lot more pleasant in fine sunny weather! Right onto Part 4 in a bit!

[@robcrabtree5164]

Amazing to see you fly into St Mary’s. I’ve flown the Lands end to St Mary’s routine in a twin otter a couple of times. The Scilly islands are amazing. Fond family memories with my grandparents and flying the old British Helicopter service “flying house” back in the 90s from Penzance. Hope you managed a pint in the mermaid!

[@mullida]

Excellent video. Just for interest , the colourful apartment buildings near 'Liverpool' are actually Millers Quay in Wallasey. The river Mersey separates Liverpool from the Wirral peninsular. But didn't expect you to know this detail.😅

[@AviatingWithMel]

I'm loving this series. One of my plans for flying in the UK is Jon-o-Groats to Lands End (or the other way around). Hopefully you will make it to Lizard Point.

Great to see you flying the coastline of my home county of Cornwall, Stefan. Having grown up on the Lizard it was a trip down memory lane. Interesting pronunciation of Tintagel…

[@quasar_33b]

haha did have a chuckle at that

[@richardcurtin]

@@quasar_33b I mean it’s an easy mistake. We don’t make it easy for anyone past the Tamar to pronounce Cornish towns. I see you’re an engineer at Culdrose. What SQN? I was in the cadets as a young lad. Always at Culdrose on the shooting range, or flying with 771 Sqn or 750..

[@quasar_33b]

@richardcurtin God, yeah, some Cornish names are a nightmare if you've never heard someone pronounce them before, haha. Currently on 820 NAS, work on the baggers and pingers. My uncle was a crewy on 771 back in the day. I do wish they'd got some SAR queens and kept 771 only heard great things about that draft.

[@richardcurtin]

@@quasar_33b yeah such a shame. They did some great work and awesome to sea the sea kings flying around. I lived in Helston and went to school in Mullion, so used to see them all the time. And when gliding at Predannack they’d occasionally pop in. The Merlin is pretty cool too. Beast of a machine. Hopefully a little more reliable than the Lynx

Hi Stef. I have enjoyed your flying adventures in and out of Australia. Something you ought to take on board about your latest posting on the leg to "The Isles of Scilly". Not the 'Scilly Isles'. Those who live on those beautiful islands do get a bit fed up when they aren't given their correct name.

[@simonabunker]

Great video! I know boats aren't your thing, but Sailing Florence is also doing a lap of the British Isles (much more slowly!) and their cinematography is great too. They also went to the most northern point in mainland Scotland - and got as confused as you too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYOoZIp5lp6afsksi=3GRiAji3kgdVVf1x
