Ben, your best video to date, great flying, I'm not a pilot like yourself but spent lots of time sat in the right seat of aircraft & helicopters on jobs. The Motorist looks a fabulous place with great meets in their calendar! Working nights so still on catch up on the last month of your videos.

[@impy1980]

Awesome video mate. Just bear in mind people watch for you, so don't be afraid to offer some variety, I personally enjoy the flying as much as the recoveries, and I'm sure I'll enjoy the bike stuff too. Your visual running commentary also helps keeps engagement/interest, it's also cool you can relate to and show us where you've been in the truck, helps tie everything together. Damn, 2 pieces of music you used I use regularly for work videos, hehe, the music used at take off from the car meet, and the music at Cadwell. Mic system was good, no worse than any other people I've seen do flight videos, I know the mic needs to be pretty close to you for comms and that's dictated, but maybe pull it away a tiny tiny bit, should help the audio peaking for the recording. All them modern cars and I'm going, ooh look at the XR2, ooh look at that Escort, ooh look at that Golf haha.

[@SleafordRecovery]

Thanks for the advice mate, been speaking to a mate tonight and he said the same about the mic being too close. I'll get there with it 👍. Thanks for commenting

Thanks for doing more flying videos Ben. I really enjoy them and find it fascinating seeing these places from the air, hearing the ATC coms was interesting too. Would love to see more of your air travels around the UK. Have you ever visited the Shuttleworth collection of vintage aircraft and vehicles at Old Warden airfield?

Did you go to Squires Cafe in Sherburn in Elmet? They have Bike Night on a Wednesday (why do I always do- wed-nes-day) anyhoo, I rode from south B'ham all the way up there for a pasty and a milk and dropped the bloody bike about 5 mile away, snapped my front brake lever clean off and managed to limp there on a crappy old rear brake on my 87 Hurricane, they have a bits shop in there so I managed to buy a new lever and the guys helped me fit it, this was about 6 or 7 years ago before they upgraded the place, dunno what it's like there now, we held a bike rally there 2 years previously to that and toward the end of the night we played 'peanut the barmaid' if you got a peanut down her top she would give you a snog, I don't think it was part of the service but hey, we weren't complaining 😇

[@GenaF]

Can I ask how you go on flying in an area where there are so many fighter jets practicing? I live in Sutton Bridge and there are no commercial flight paths over us which i assume is because of the military, but we do get a Tiger Moth doing stunts occasionally and light planes which appear to follow the river nene out to The Wash and then follow the coastline yet that is where RAF Holbeach bombing range is.

[@SleafordRecovery]

Hi, great question. There are invisible corridors and pathways that the jets stay in, outside of these areas we use something called "see and avoid". If I want to go into these corridors or Controlled Airspace then I simply call Coningsby Radar and they will let me in if able. Similar to when I crossed Stansted on the other flying video I did. Its in my back catalogue.
