My Dad was a Radar Mech on Lancaster bombers, WWII. He wasn’t even allowed to tell his parents what he was doing for the war effort’s. Really enjoyed the insight.

@JodelFlyer Год назад

Thank you. Glad you liked the content.

I never tire of flying over that piece of coastline. It is fascinating and also a connection to my late father who boarded many of his ships at Harwich/ Felixstowe whilst in the merchant navy. Lee

I really like the creek mud patterns when the tide is out. 👍😎

Great update Tim, I watched this on my phone when you released it but wasn't signed in, so I've enjoyed it all again on my PC all signed in and can now leave this comment. Enjoyed John's video and will check out more of his stuff. Ipswich was my first land-away when I was training at Southend, loved that turn over the bridge low level. Looking forward to your next update. Thanks Tim

Thanks for watching again Terry. As I have just said to Kev, viewing numbers have dropped off since I stopped the weekly uploads and I feel that RU-vid is not pushing my content as they did? Having said that, comments are still coming in from the hard core of regular viewers which is important and I do appreciate.

@mikeyswingsacrossthesky2244 Год назад

Not lost your touch Tim, from a flying and video point ,both a fantastic watch. There always seems something new and interesting to fly over in your neck of the woods.

Thank you Mike. I might have retired from education in December 2014 but the teacher is still in me! 🤣

Morning captain tim nice one on Orford with some local aerial shots over my side of the river.

@JodelFlyer Год назад

Thank you Barry. Always nice to fly over unusual places but have to keep high over the bird reserve on Orford Ness. Haven’t flown over Foulness as those guns can still be active! 😊

@blister6884 Год назад

Lovely to hear from you - happy Christmas!

@kevchilton908 Год назад

Fascinating history Tim, and the usual beautiful countryside views make for yet another great vid to enjoy 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@JodelFlyer Год назад

Thank you. I very much appreciate your continued support. Viewing numbers have certainly dropped off since I stopped the weekly uploads and I think RU-vid have stopped suggesting my content but it is important for me to keep up links with my regular viewers. 👍😎

@mikewilson7833 Год назад

Well that was a pleasent surprise finding you and John lurking in my machine!! Good to see you back Tim with your very interesting video!! I haven't flown since 25th October because of the rain .... I hope your move goes okay an d speak soon eh?

@JodelFlyer Год назад

I am trying to keep up with at least one video a month Mike and settled for the last Friday of the month. Not much flying here at the moment but fingers crossed for more when the move finally goes through. 👍😎

@Dubaieagle1 Год назад

Thanks Tim ( & John)......Green with envy as usual at all that lovely scenery. Love the historical snippets which inevitably lead me to further investigation on the net !! Good luck with the move Tim... I too am on the permanent move and in 14 days will become Thaieagle!. Even further from the green and pleasant pastures. !! Hopefully will be briefly back for a blast of chilled air in Feb. Looking forward to the Christmas Special !

@JodelFlyer Год назад

Thank you. That was a bit of a flying classroom! Going even further away then. Hope to see you again in February then? 😊

@jedwig61 Год назад

Cheers Tim. Thoroughly enjoyed your monthly treat today. Took me far too long to watch it all due to being dragged to Lincoln by my better half. The under wing camera was ideal for showing us all the secrets of the secret island. Totally engrossing. Looking forward to your Christmas update.

@JodelFlyer Год назад

Thank you Jed. Glad you enjoyed it. Lincoln for Christmas shopping? 😆

@jedwig61 Год назад

@@JodelFlyera bit of shopping but the main visit was to see my wife’s godfather who has offered to deal with a collection of old coins, books & fountain pens that we inherited after her mothers passing earlier this year.

@nicorchard3559 Год назад

There's much WWI history there indeed. I learned a lot for my first Dawn to Dusk and think it warrants a proper visit.

@JodelFlyer Год назад

It is a very interesting area and the coastline is fascinating. Thanks for watching Nik and the comment. Hope you are keeping well. 👍😎

@neilbarriskell7840 Год назад

Do love the mix of the banter between you and John, and the lesson and great stills of aviation history. Looking forward to the pre Christmas edition already… All the best Tim.

Great video as always, yes I remember the airfield at Ipswich, I used to second hrs up there as a lad, watching the aircraft come and go, great shots of coastline, i've forgotten how interesting that part of the world is. Thanks for sharing.

@JodelFlyer Год назад

Thank you Tim. Glad you liked it. I am afraid I got into teacher mode there for a while! 👍😎

@JodelFlyer Год назад

Thank you Jolmer. Yes, still putting out a bit of content every now and then but had to cut down to one a month due to time constraints.

@gordanmilne7034 Год назад

Another great video Tim, I love East Anglia and you mention of Ipswich airport reminded me of one early flight as a passenger from there to Southend in a Heron of Channel airways. My uncle was also a secret squirrel radar engineer at Martlesham. Best wishes and fingers crossed for your move.

@JodelFlyer Год назад

Thank you Gordan and glad you enjoyed it. 😊

@crisjpalmer Год назад

thanks for the update and the history of Orford Ness, it is now on my list of "places to visit." we are ourselves in the very late process of moving house, as such i haven't flown for some weeks and i am positively itching to get back up in the air. good luck with the move.

@JodelFlyer Год назад

It is a very interesting bit of coastline. The bird reserve means you can’t really get down low to explore. Good luck with your move. 👍😎

@G0RXA Год назад

Nice video and good to see you flying Tim. Nice to see Orford Ness too. As a radio ham the area possess a lot of interest for the radio enthusiast in me. Take care, hope the move goes ok.

@Payne2view Год назад

My favourite Friday of the month. Glad to see you and John get some air time. Its amazing how once strictly forbidden top secret areas are now nature reserves, be that air bases or boffin nests. I was going to wish you an early Happy Christmas but since we're getting a Dec 23rd update, I will save that until then. Hopefully both my parents will be out of hospital by then too. It has been one of those fortnights.

@JodelFlyer Год назад

Thank you Robert. Very kind of you to say about favourite Friday of the month. Hope things are better for your parents soon. Best wishes to you and them.

@johnmay2786 Год назад

Most enjoyable, what fascinating geography near your neck of the woods. VQ-BXH is a Dassault Falcon 8X exec jet registered in Bermuda and operated by Shell Aircraft Ltd.My apologies if someone has already pointed that out. I so much agree with your comment about the invisibility of gliders, one time I only saw a glider in front of me because the sun flashed along the leading of the wing, that certainly got my attention!

@JodelFlyer Год назад

Thank you John. Nobody else has commented on the Dassault Falcon and I hadn’t looked up the Bermuda bit. Gliders can be very difficult to see can’t they 😊

@flyingkub Год назад

Great video as normal Tim. Has John got an aircraft lined up yet? Love the Ness, part of history that can go totally unseen by many but is so visable to us in the air.

@JodelFlyer Год назад

Thanks Algy, as we have said we are very privileged to be able to do what we do and see the things we can. John has not yet been lucky in his search. 🤞

@flyingkub Год назад

@@JodelFlyer I have seen a few RV's on AFORS but it needs to be the right aircraft at the right cost.

@davidcartwright5591 Год назад

So good to see you and John having quality time together . As an apprentice in the early 70’s working with the Post Office Telephones as it was at the time ,I attended many courses at Bletchley Park . None of the fellow attendees had any idea as to it’s significance and role during the Second World War , thanks to the official secrets act . Seeing Martlesham from the air rekindled all those memories . Thank you Tim for your continued episodes , they are very much looked forward to .

@JodelFlyer Год назад

Thanks Dave. I hope you are both well and the weather there has settled down a bit. 😊

@geoffharris2707 Год назад

Hi Tim, another very interesting and informative video. I live about seven miles from your home base and often keep a look out for you either visually or on Flight Radar. Can I assume that you don't actually show up on Flight Radar as I have not spotted you on it yet !!?? Regards.

@JodelFlyer Год назад

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video. I should show up on Flight Radar. My dad used to watch out for me but there again he knew when I was flying. I am afraid at the moment, with everything going on I am not getting to fly much. 👍😎

@SD1922 Год назад

Interesting video Tim. Can we have more of the underwing camera footage please?
