This could hurt my flight around Britain

[@samyouelle1]

Thank you so much for uploading this and your previous video Stef. I cannot think of a more wonderful way to spend a Friday night than to watch your adventures. It's also wonderful to see you getting back to normal after your recent health issue. We are truly lucky to have a creator like you in the world making this place slightly better with every video you upload.

[@StefanDrury]

Hey Sam, what a lovely thing to say to me. Thank you, comments like this really motivate me.

[@OVTraveller]

Hi, Stef, it is hoped that your loved ones at home in Melbourne ( plus the grumpy cat) are watching this video as a proof to them and yourself that you have turned the corner and are back in a good place. Well done mate, we , all your original viewers are delighted. Cheers from Brunny, 3056

Great video Stefan I’m off to watch E3 now! 😃 Cheers 🥂 mate! 🇦🇺 with love from the USA 🇺🇸 -Caleb’s Aviation

Am old enough to remember the 1980s 'Round Britain Whizz' episode of BBC's QED in which an RAF Hawk flew around the coast of Britain.

So great to see you flying again warms my heart

[@StefanDrury]

Cheers Tony, that’s kind.

[@mini_steve]

I can not wait until the day you do that around the Australian coastline. What an adventure that would be.

[@louisadamo2510]

Love this series of videos. My wife, whose family hails from Glasgow, and I love Scotland and have been virtually all over it on several trips but this aerial view is absolutely stunning. Glad to see you are back flying again.

[@StefanDrury]

Thank you Louis, for the kind words, I’m grateful for that.

Great concept Stef, Great content, very enjoyable..Philip is a master tutor at getting you back in the sky!

[@rossanderson2093]

As a native Scot these views warm my heart. What a wonderful thing to do and exactly the kind of thing that GA is made for. What an adventure! Glad things are getting back to normal for ya Stef

[@iandunipace]

great views of western scotland. Oban is a great little airport. can't wait for the next video.👍👍👍👍

Hi Stef - just wanted to say how much I am enjoying this little series of your flight around Britain. Also, its good to see you in the left seat with hands on the controls again! Keep up the good work. Cheers

[@StefanDrury]

Thanks re the videos, glad you’re enjoying them. And yes it’s great to be left seat again, thanks also for the kind words.

[@WingC3]

Did my IR(R) with Echelon. You've given me ideas for things to do with G-YYES! Was impressed it could stop on that short private strip!

[@StefanDrury]

Nice one, congrats on the IR. Yes get the speed and aim point right and we got in quite easily. But def go around if it doesn’t feel right. Gives the guests more approaches to watch so everyone’s a winner!

[@WingC3]

A great series, Steph and wonderful to see you flying!

How good has this series been 👍

[@DHOtterMan]

Great to see you back in the left seat Stefan. I flew single handed around the southern half of Britain (Blackpool to Humberside) in 2017 in a day for the Pooleys International Dawn to Dusk Competition. My theme was concerned the role of the RNLI in Air Sea Rescue. Just the northern half to go, but perhaps not in one day!! You might like to consider the D to D as a flying project for your excellent channel. You can enter for free. Keep up the great work.

If you go back to the video where you were at the easterly point, you pointed to john o groats on the brass ring, and next to it was there imprinted, dunnet head.

[@StefanDrury]

If only real life had a rewind and pause like that! Well spotted :)

[@richardwillars3463]

Currently learning to fly PPL out of Bristol so I'll keep an eye out for you! Cloud level round there has been all over the place this last week, strangely changing dramatically every hour!

[@SJF15]

It's a pity you couldn't have taken a bit of a detour, and landed on the beach on the Isle of Barra.

[@bobphillips2188]

Not only is JoG not the most northerly point, but the NE corner of Scotland is definitely not part of the Highlands. Note the absence of much height anywhere... Caithness is more famous for being flat, and the home of the flow country, the largest areas of bog peatland in Europe. It also stretches into Sutherland (it was south for the Nordlanders, ie, 'Vikings'). While the furthest northeast point is JoG, the furthest NW extreme is Cape Wrath, wrath meaning the turning place in old Norse, ie, the place where you turn south to do a bit of pillaging on the west coast and islands. Just thought you'd like to know (-;)~

[@robinrother1799]

Great video again Stef. Your recovery regime of intense flying seems to be going well.. That was typical of Scottish weather! Next time you're up here, consider Dornoch, especially if you're a golfer (2:58) and Plockton airfields and a brief detour to see the Old Man of Hoy and the beach airstrip at Barra...too many, really. I'm looking forward to more of the Rehab Tour 🙂

[@StefanDrury]

Oh I love these tips, thank you. That's the best thing about the internet - sharing knowledge like that. Thanks again, I'll add them to my travel lists.

[@VH_VOL]

I'm so glad to hear you flying again. Got worried about you. Hoping to see you return to the lands of Australia soon. :)

[@cryptoslacker-464]

Great lesson in not rushing a landing 👌 You can always go around, as long as you have enough fuel that is lol. Ps I'm am arm chair pilot speaking 😆

[@StefanDrury]

You’re absolutely right. Plenty of fuel to give us options, and the strip wasn’t very long so unless the approach is stable and aim point is good then going around was a no brainer. Few adjustments and I (finally) got it right!

"It was a landing, plane is not broken..." :-)

[@MrJohnyysmith]

As a no longer aviating glider pilot, this single engine stuff over the sea. or close to un-landable moorland etc (let alone in IMC), is scaring me. Keep on looking for landing places if the lift fails. Guess I'm getting old

[@dom1310df]

I think John O'Groats is the most northeast you can go (if you go further east you never get further north)

If you can throw a tennis ball 🎾 and it hits the spot then your ok you’ve made it . Shame Durness and surrounding is stunning.

[@laurentsamson8927]

Hi Stefan, you were so close to the Northern most UK Airfield, EGPW, on Shetland Island perfectly reachable without big legs over water with plenty of airfields along the route to give a secured trip. Just 165 NM total on this route EGPC KOKAL EGER EGES EGEN EGEF WAFIL EGET 602558N0011744W EGPW. It would have been very epic! What you think for another trip?

[@danielgoosen591]

Kirk is actually an old English term for ‘church’, the term ‘castle’ only came from French after the invasion of 1066

[@DashMWR]

Loving this series! By the way, how do you log/track where you have travelled with the red line?

[@StefanDrury]

It’s all tracked using my watch - Garmin D2 Mach 1 Pro. Automatically logs my flights to Garmin connect then I can overlay onto Google for that view.

G,day Stefan from Sydney. Very enjoyable part 2 of your air travel to the furthest Cardinal points of GB. Air plane guff Is the SR 22 power the same as VH - EYZ On the go arounds over the grass did you glance at the altimeter base leg to final? 🛩️🦠

[@StefanDrury]

Thanks John, the aircraft is an SR20, so a slightly different engine to EYZ (SR22) but the fuselage and cockpit are basically the same. And on the go arounds yes I’d glance at the altimeter to level off after the crosswind/downwind turn, but after that it’s mostly all visual.
