Join me and 6 other microlight pilots as we fly out to sample the legendary full English Breakfast at Otherton Airfield.
The day doesn't start well for me after and I almost have to call off the trip due to a stubborn engine problem. However, it all comes good in the end.

I'm glad you made it. Things like that can be very frustrating. It all worked out in the end.

I certainly worked up an appetite starting the engine so I was glad when it finally started. Breakfast was fantastic. 👍

Thanks Dan. Having to figure it out in the air didn’t help but I’ll pretty much do most things for a cooked breakfast! 👍

Me and a few friends have a chippy run on the motorbikes during summer months. There's just something about riding a ridiculously long way to haveva chippy tea. In my mind it's not the chippy, that's a bonus. It's always the journey 👍

@paulieb796 9 ай бұрын

Exactly the same principle here. Why else would you fly for an hour for a full English you could have at home? I’m thinking of a flight to Skeggy for fish and chips next!! 👍

Nice video, Paul thoroughly enjoys every vlog you make. Keep up the great work. You should try Soleys Farm, Ripple, Deal Kent. Terry from shortfield did a video of his trip. It is the home of the famous Kentish ice cream in over 14 flavours. They also do a mean breakfast, pub on site, and a campsite. The runway is interesting and cuts over the campsite. Take care

@@paulieb796 Hi Paulie, I was stationed at RAF Bentwaters back in the late '70s, and I loved English bacon. I found a couple of videos and will try making some soon. It's something you just can't get here in the states unless you want to spend some big money. I sure do wish we had a flying community like yours here in the states. Mostly we have paramotor pilots. Anyhow, Cheers mate!

Afternoon, great vids - well done, just the job for a day like today. Could you LMK re your helmet make please. Its not full face which I like but is wind noise an issue?

@paulieb796 9 ай бұрын

Hi David. My helmet is a Icaro Solar X which I purchased from a company called MicroAvionics. Wind noise isn’t really an issue but then my BivvyBee cruises at only 38mph. Will be interesting to see how I get on with my new Nine wing when it finally arrives. I am meaning to do a video on my helmet and audio set up. 👍
