Millbrook Model Mariners 7/8/22

Good days sailing. It was almost dead calm at the start which was ideal for scale models then the wind picked up and the IOM and sail boats came out. Part phone sits and part drone shots.

I miss all the airshows at biggin hill
Me too, mate; ME TOO!
Brilliant Show I was there !
I remember that very well i lived just down the road in new addington just walk up saltbox hill
Thanks for your comment. Some good old planes that are no longer flying.
How can the swordfish keep up
Much work to be done, but it will be.
Ah yes, Redoubt 4, Hawkins battery.
I spent some time here with the MOD and also a Christmas period with family member. Spending time alone here as some spiritual feeling for sure.
Memories of Pembrey
I was there that day and I recall the Virgin A340 coming by too!
Well this brings back some memories. One of my first air shows was at Biggin Hill. I think I was there that year as I recall the infamous Messerschmidt ‘Black 6’ flying. Shame we lost her. I recalled walking right through a Catalina. Those were the days. Cheers for this video.
Some good clearance work being done, it is looking less like the "Box of Broccolli" someone described it as a few days ago.
IT's Redoubt Number 5, and really they were part of the "Georgian" Defences of Devonport - its a pity you spoiled an excellent film with poor research.
Wow! Sorry to have ruined your day. I have corrected now.
It's a brilliant video, I'm stuck working in Wales at the moment but in my 20,s I used to ride my Honda 100cc motorcycle and I did go to St, Germans, in the late 80,s only saw the church.
Hi , love your vid , is it poss to use some of the footage ? thanks :)
Sure. Just mention my name. Thanks.
@@tonylewisvideos hi tony at this point i would have mentioned it was for kates labour campaign and see if thats ok :) anyway we won :) so if your in the division and you need anything a councillor can do give us a shout
@@richardclark2290 did you use any footage in the end?
@@tonylewisvideos yes but not before i replied , your in the fort we walked through getting out the vote on thursday , well if you need anything a councillor can do give us a shout :)
@@tonylewisvideos no it was to late but thanks so much :)
Rest in peace Mr Hanna 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Went there in 1972 for training when I was in the Royal Navy, we had to sleep in hammocks which was fine but the place was freezing cold.😊
was there in 76 and we never wore safety helmets lol
In basic rn and we are going there in like a week or two
Was there in 1982 for rn training . Whilst at Hms Raleigh.
I did long weekend team building at pier cellars winter 1991 freezing but fun happy days glad I travelled .⚓️⚓️⚓️
Such a beautiful plane great video 👍
What was/is this?
It was a torpedo testing site and gun battery for coastal defence on the Rame Peninsula, Cornwall. For years now it's been used as an offsite training facility by the Royal Navy and Royal Marines.
And I thought Mikoyan and Sukhoi jets were the only jets to deploy the drag chute before touching down.
Mark was a class act. I showed my mum a video of him once and she fell in love. She was 73!
Wow cool 👍
Mark & Ray & 434 all they have done . Lasting legacy.
I have heard a guy from WW2 was reunited with the plane he flown, a FW-189
Same. I came here to see that fw 189 "uhu". Lothar Mathos was that pilot.
Cool guy. RIP
Was absolutely brilliant back in the day aged 8 with my grandad in an modded xr3i
Redoubt 5 no doubt
Watching this very fondly from far away Australia .....my parents lived at the Fort in the late 70’s , early 80’s ...I would trek across the globe to this enchanting place for some of the happiest times of my life.....after they passed away, we scattered their ashes on edge of the path leading down from Maker church, in deference to their happy times in this wonderful part of the world. Thank you so much for posting this fabulous footage and allowing me to reminisce .
They might have known my grandparents then if they lived there then :)
According Wikipedia Focke Wulf 189 Restoration Society shown it's restored FW189 there. But I was not able to find a gimps of it on any of 4 videos.
I think you'll find that is actually No.5
From far away Australia, it’s lovely to see this beautiful part of the world again, which I visited often when my parents lived in Fort Picklecombe. Fond memories of walking their old boxer dog along the coast path to Cawsand ...thanks for sharing .
That brings back memories.
Cool dog I subscribed I have a white one too
Happy days! :-) :-) :-)
I would not be surprised if me and my mates where on the fort we explore it all the time go check out @lortunbom on youtube and watch his exploring abandoned fort video and we explor that fort
Hi Finley. I would be interested in seeing your videos but I can't find you on CZcams. Can you email me at tony@bigginhill-history.co.uk.
I really enjoyed your video, but I wish you had flown over Penlee. When I was aged 12 to 13, in 1946-47, I lived in the army's Fort Penlee, which was near but above the south end of Earl's Drive.My daily trip to school in Saltash started at 7.15 for the 30 minute walk through the woods to Kingsand to catch the school bus at 7.45. Coming home took from 4.00 to 5.45, both ways usually in the dark! (And in winter of 1947 in the snow!) Now I can't even find the fort on Google maps, or any kind of footprint as to where it was located. A nice steady drone video would be very helpful! (Btw G maps shows a "Penlee Battery' but I don't think it's in the right place at all. The fort was very high up at the top of the hill, for the benefit of the heavy coastal artillery, not down on the beach.)
if the fort your speaking of is up on the way to maker at the top its become largely overgrown and full of old dodgems and other rubbish. i hope you find the video you're looking for.
@@sammulkerrin The fort was about 1 km due east of Rame church, along Military Road. Since I wrote a my original comment above, about a year ago, Google maps seem to have been amended and the words "Penlee Battery" now seem to be in more or less the right place. Thank you for your interest.
Anyone else with a lump in the throat?
Enjoyed that Tony.I'd have loved to have seen Sconner creek from above as it is a very interesting,quiet and hidden inlet.Beautiful too.
where abouts were you flying this from?
Spent 28 days on the Crown with Kelvin fall 2015 - he is hilarious!! He is worth his weight in gold to Princess! Totally awesome!
@Tony Lewis I've heard there was a Fw-189 Uhu at the Air show. Do you know anything about that?
I was in the year below Mark at school - he was always plane mad, even as a kid!!
With Ray Hanna as his dad and Mk9 Spitfire MH434 in the family garage, who wouldn't be?!
Fifteen years today. What a great father and son team. Sadly missed.
Great footage. I saw Concorde do a touch and go at Farnborough in 1986 en route to NY from Heathrow with a full complement of passengers. It was just fantastic to see a scheduled flight take part in the show!
Was on the diamond for Alaska. 2012
I cruised on the Sun Princess to South Pacific in January and I'd have to say Frenchie and kelvin were fantastic and made my cruise too!
I have since found out from someone who knew Mark very well. that he actually died at 8:30 that Saturday evening.
Not so. Definitely Sunday evening (am family member).
Just got off Sun Princess NZ Cruise S118 - ex BNE 30th November. We were lucky enough to have Kelvin Joy as our CD and Frenchie as Asst. CD... together they are awsome! That was my 27th cruise and best CD/Asst. CD duo I have ever experienced. Thanks Princess, Kelvin and Frenchie... made our cruise... :-)
You always hold the brakes on after take off to stop the wheels spinning before they lock up
@Bignikkij his a crack, real funny guy. just got off dawn princess cruise to new zealand
My wife and I cruised with Kelvin on the Crown and also the Sapphire Princess the latter to Alaska 8/28/11. The cruise was fantasic and kelvin just makes it better. He is an outstanding cruise director and a very funny man!
