Fantastic video, Jon. The music on landing at Newhall Mains was the type of music one would expect when a Spitfire or Hurricane returns to home base after air combat over mainland Europe.

Great to see you flying up in my neck of the woods! This is exactly what we be promoting more of in Scotland. One of the big areas we are lacking in aerial tourism is fuel facilities. Especially out to the islands and highlands. Used to be a lot more options but now the only places for fuel really are Inverness and Prestwick. Oban used to be a good gateway, but they lost their fuel capability and are struggling to get it back. Makes it difficult for people like yourself flying up from England. I'm glad you've shot this video though, it will no doubt encourage some more people to fly up here and help local economies.

What an excellent Vlog Jon. Scotland has a number of very good venues for PPLs. If you're going to be doing the Great Glen, don't forget to go to Mull (Glenforsa) where you can stay in an hotel right next to the airstrip. And don't let's forget the beach landing at Barra followed by a flight over to Oban where, if you speak nicely to the Fire Station, they may let you rinse the salt off with their hoses!! I'm just getting my Arrow (G-TSGA) repainted right now, but when its finished, I'm tempted to celebrate the paint job by following your lead and flying up to Newhall Mains for a couple of nights.

I've just bought a Cirrus SR22T GTS Perspective G5 and your'e welcome to take a look and have a flight in it if you're interested. I also own a Eurocopter EC120 and the same offer applies. I think you're based at Blackbushe and I'm regularly there so happy to say hello if you're about. Just a quick question on this video. I noticed you changed your route from intially planning to fly up the west coast through my neck of the woods (Manchester/Liverpool) but didn't due wx. I'm just wondering why you didn't go IFR and excercise your IR(R) priveleges. Just curious......
