[@MadisonTen]

The bit coming across the channel was very special. Clouds below and some height and then seeing the coast. 🙌

[@trev.lee.adventure]

It put shivers down my spine and a lump in my throat every time I watch it 😊

[@peterrobertson8141]

That was some length of day Trev. Bet you were glad to be back on the ground in the UK. Looking forward to the last bit.

[@trev.lee.adventure]

It was a tough day Peter. The white cliffs were a welcome sight 😋

[@gordonronald860]

Just caught ep 18. I must watch the start. But amazing seeing you at 5000ft crossing the channel. If you get to Elstree let me know. Cup of tea / coffee and bacon butty will be waiting

[@trev.lee.adventure]

[@brianjpatton]

Well done, admire

[@trev.lee.adventure]

@brianjpatton Thank you Brian 😊

[@curt3494]

I loved the epic music at the end. I thought for a minute I was watching one of the Top Gun films 😂 Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it 👍

[@trev.lee.adventure]

Thank you. I do try hard to find suitable music

[@kevchilton908]

Hi Trev, just caught up with this one. What a great ending to your expedition in very testing conditions. I still can't work out where you finally landed. Presumably in Kent having just flown over the Channel. I originally thought Pent Farm, but then changed my mind to Clipgate Farm. Both look familiar... but I'm still not convinced it's either 🫣 Great video... keep them coming 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@trev.lee.adventure]

Hi Kev it's Ripple near Deal. An excellent little farm strip that is ideal for a departure or return from France. There is still episode 19 that gets us home to Deenethorpe kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ7Oc4Kegr-agcksi=fZNhhG9Q4AYtqHAl Thanks for watching👍

[@kevchilton908]

@@trev.lee.adventure Ah! Thanks, Trev, and for the link... which I'm off to see now! 👍🏻

[@aboveus1638]

So how do you become a microlight pilot? Do you have to do a PPL?

[@trev.lee.adventure]

The minimum requirement is National Private Pilot Licence (NPPL)

[@SailorGerry]

Can a person be diabetic and still obtain a NPPL? Do realize that the aviation medical regulations are a lot more strict in the EU and UK than those in the US, Canada or Australia. For example, in the US & Canada, one can hold a CPL or ATPL and be a diabetic, as long as it is 'under control'.

[@trev.lee.adventure]

​@SailorGerry I'm not sure but i would imagine that you would have to show history of keeping it under control

[@janeholt9258]

what's the hangar manufactures name at the end of the vid Trev

[@trev.lee.adventure]

@@janeholt9258 I'm sorry. I have no idea
