Short video from my flight from Elvington (ex RAF Elvington), an airfield with outstanding, 3000m long runway and currently a home of Yorkshire Air Museum. The Museum itself is outstanding with lots vintage planes to see and other activities. on that day I was making blind radio calls as the frequency was not manned. Runway itself is long and wide however be caution of ofter traffic like truck potentially crossing through as I experienced just before take off. Landing fee costs £25 and this includes entry to the museum (2023).
That day I arrived at Sandtoft (EGCF), a small private airfield 22m to the south of Elvington. gentle touch down on the runway 05 with around 12kts crosswind. Great and accommodating place with relatively short runway you would not want to overshoot (there is a bank just before threshold of runway 23). Landing fee cost £15, there is also a cafe open.
