Thanks for having me along, Jon - it was an experience never to be forgotten! I'm proud of what we and the community achieved for Aerobility 😊

[@acaciaTF]

Well done Scott!

@@acaciaTF thanks!!

[@biglkev]

Great to see the video. It was a pleasure to meet you both at NAC, make the first cash donation of the day and wave you off from Norwich! A fantastic amount of money raised for a very deserving cause. Cheers! Kev.

[@DeadReckoner]

It was a pleasure, Kev!

[@MrSeebsy]

Jon. I really enjoyed this video & awesome job with this great charity. The formation with a fighter pilot flying that cool looking Grey Vans was epic. cheers from New Jersey.

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Thanks for the support and watching the video. Glad you enjoyed it.

Superb job, well done Jon! It was a pleasure to see you again at Norwich.

16:26 ooops 😁
That was probably one of the best videos you've done. Lots of action, lots of camera angles and great choice of music. Well done to both of you for achieving this task and raising a great amount of money for the charity.

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Thank you. When you stop and think about the logistics of filming this, you realise how much of a challenge even that was.

[@DeadReckoner]

Thanks!

[@MikeTorbay]

A very interesting video and it is very kind of you to share it with your supporters. Also well done for raising money to help others make their dream of flying come true. It has been a privilege to donate to your cause. Although I wasn't fortunate enough to have the finances to complete my training for a PPL, before living in Devon (I have lived in the Torquay area since 2004), I used to help out at the Tiger Club when they were based near Ashford. It is therefore interesting to read that you are in Kent, John. 👍🙂

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Thanks Mike.

[@markzzzz741]

Great video and fundraiser Jon. It was fun to see the scramble to intercept launch of RVBP from the ground side and the resulting air to air shots.

[@TheFlyingReporter]

I think Ben did a great job getting into position swiftly after departure. Almost as if he’d planned it.

[@mikegmdw1]

Very interesting flight and well done in raising so much for Aerobility charity. Thought you may have mentioned at Turweston being the HQ of the LAA.

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Thanks. Curious as to why the LAA deserved a mention though on an event they had nothing to do with. 🤷

[@mikegmdw1]

@TheFlyingReporter as the LAA has 7.5k members and is responsible for 2700 light aircraft administered from there some of those may be interested

[@barrywood5357]

John such a gentleman you pulled it off even with the weather gods throwing you a curve ball an early excursion in the uk skies and you both did well. Another one next year...?

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Thanks Barry. Maybe Scotland or Wales next year? Who knows.

[@Eileens_dog]

Stunning effort Jon. Many thanks.
Look forward to seeing you on runway 18, errr 23, errr 05, errr 12....oh I dunno, somewhere on an airfield. 😂

[@TheFlyingReporter]

It was a crosswind whichever one I took haha!

[@Aviator_Shaheen]

Well done Jon. I was able to follow you through webcams of some airfileds
Big shout out for people in the airfiled who came to greet you. I think they made that day meaningful.

Thank you.

Congratulation Jon! Very proud of all who helped, I would’ve got down to Leeds East but couldn’t make it, if you ever do an aerodrome review of Leeds east (I hope for that one day) hopefully might bump into you!

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Thanks Caleb.

[@chrispeel9263]

Was hoping to get to Sleap but failed.WX was a bit manky around Stoke for sure.I did my first solo there in 1976 and also got confused with the runways

It did get a bit rubbish for a bit at lunchtime for sure.

Great to see you at Turweston, well done with the day. Arriving at Barton showed why we should have a mandatory EC policy.

[@ableese2068]

Well done, Jon. Impressive day's flying.

[@RoryOnAir]

Brilliant Jon. A superb aviation effort as well as a fundraising and logistical one. The formation stuff must have been pretty cool. It’s funny how people find Barton stressful, I can understand why but I think learning there took away the anxiety. Plus soft runways isn’t an issue with a heli 😜🚁👍

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Thank you Rory. Yeh Barton is interesting. A lot going on there. A late tailwind call on a performance limited wet/soft runway. A busy environment too. But as you say, everyone’s home airfield is always very familiar. Some would find Redhill a challenge I suppose.

[@peterjohnkendall7637]

@@TheFlyingReporter John honestly your videos are without a shadow of a doubt… the new bench mark. I know your BBC background, but even so, to produce a programme like this takes artistry and skill, and of course personality and the “voice”. Flying reporter is the only channel I watch regularly and actually look forward too. Thank you for all your hard work.

In was based at sleap and made that mistake .. was common for visitors

[@TheFlyingReporter]

It was embarrassing. Especially with everyone watching!

[@Medge2sc]

I once sat on that runway doing my first tail wheel flight, loads of people watching and it just went in a big circle trying to line up… it’s almost like that balcony at the café is just to catch everyone’s cock up
Great trip though, brilliant cause and very well done

[@englishclive]

You lightweight Jon, didn’t fly it all yourself….😂

I know - it barely counts as a challenge does it?!

He had to put up with my "banter," though - that was even more challenging!
