Nice video but needs the conversation between you and ATC.
Great Music, but second one was lined up for my next video (Oh well I will look around for another one hehe!). Put some more up.

Take a look at mine, type in the search box West Lancashire Microlight School

Thanks for the comments. There will be more – plenty more in fact and I know what you mean by needing the fix! In fact it took me a good 2 years to get my wings due to good old British weather and particularly flying from Barton in Manchester here in the UK (Apologies I’m not sure if you are in the UK or not) if you are I’m sure you will be sympathetic?
Our site is in its very early stages and rather than wait until there was enough content, I thought bugger it and just got the necessary framework up, which means I am beavering away now adding worthwhile content.
My primary goal is to help guys and galls like you to remain enthused in flying microlights, particularly when the weather prevents us being up in the air. I had a great instructor in Mark Jackson, based at BMAA (British Microlight Aircraft Association) for his record breaking achievements for flying over Kilimanjaro. I’ll need to do a bit of video editing but hope to have them up very soon.
We will also be setting up a membership part to our site, so be sure to register .
Thanks for dropping by and best of British with your flying, I hope you enjoy!
Best Regards

Many thanks for the comments. To be absolutely honest, I only posted these on our blog site last night fairly late on and did not have a chance to modify the text associated with the videos. The videos in these first couple of posts are not me flying. I agree with your point regarding ATC, assuming one is flying with radio. I will certainly seek out your video. In fact if you are agreeable I would be pleased to have a copy of your video/s and or photos here on our new site? We will be putting up a good number of videos and photos etc. over the coming weeks, a good percentage of which will not be our own, but our intention in this respect is to be able to give our fellow microlight enthusiasts a a place to find all the best of this type of material.
Our overall purpose is to spread the good word of microlighting (too often I am told of sites offering the same old stuff) and our goal is to NOT end up in that category. We have plans and developments underway to help in specific ground school training and with the assistance of Mark Jackson we will be putting together some very good stuff during this year, so please keep coming back to see us.
Best Regards
Darren
