Flying Across Britain

Post by Molyned »

I suppose I should have mentioned this earlier, but ... :$
There's a great flying series on Channel 4 T.V. 'Flying Across Britain' showing on Sunday evenings.
It feaures one Arthur Williams, a paraplegic ex Royal Marine piloting his Piper Cub around some of the smaller airfields in Britain.
For example he's been to Compton Abbas, Old Warden, North Connel & Glen Forsa on Mull and more !.
All good stuff - next week he's off to East Anglia.
Fortunately the programmes are also on 'Catch Up' t.v.
Cheers :cheers:

It may be worth looking up his previous show 'Flying to the ends of the earth'. That was well worth watching too :thumbsup:
Due to shortages and cutbacks the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off.

Just watched part 3. It’s a truly beautiful programme. I was feeling somewhat pi$$ed off at having to pay my tv licenense fee recently considering all the dross and sh*te that is transmitted but a series such as this makes it worthwhile. :agree: EricT
Now at the age where I know I like girls but can't remember why!
