I visit a luxury fly-in retreat in the Scottish Highlands, and find out why we always carry extra fuel in reserve..

Fantastic video, Jon. The music on landing at Newhall Mains was the type of music one would expect when a Spitfire or Hurricane returns to home base after air combat over mainland Europe.

The addition of drone footage now takes your videos to a whole new level. Great video Jon. And wow what a lovely destination. I’ve added it to my list.

Thanks Simon.

@BenAtkinsonVideos 3 года назад

Flying aside (you already know I’m a fan of that bit), the quality of the video...as a production...is bloody brilliant. Obviously you have the skills to put these together and present wonderfully too, but it’s still easy to cut corners in an edit somewhere or lose interest in a piece and you never do! Marvellous!!

@TheFlyingReporter 3 года назад

Thanks Ben. You know it takes time and effort, but it's worth it.

@stuartessex4535 3 года назад

Fantastic stuff Jon! You are definitely giving Sky documentary's a run for their money with your filming and editing! Lovely bit of airmanship doing a Top Gun flyby before committing to a full stop landing.

@kenengland7632 3 года назад

Many thanks for this video as always Jon. It inspired us to visit Newhall Mains. What a wonderful place with such friendly staff. It was great having an airfield next to your accommodation and no hassle with airport closing times. We’ll definitely be returning there.

@AlbaSkies 3 года назад

Great to see you flying up in my neck of the woods! This is exactly what we be promoting more of in Scotland. One of the big areas we are lacking in aerial tourism is fuel facilities. Especially out to the islands and highlands. Used to be a lot more options but now the only places for fuel really are Inverness and Prestwick. Oban used to be a good gateway, but they lost their fuel capability and are struggling to get it back. Makes it difficult for people like yourself flying up from England. I'm glad you've shot this video though, it will no doubt encourage some more people to fly up here and help local economies.

@Eructation1 3 года назад

Scotland is simply stunning. Our favourite family holiday was touring the highlands having flown into Inverness from London. Great country and people.

Hi Jon, great to see the Scottish Highlands and particularly nice to see you making the trip with Alastair, as he always brings a sense of fun to your flights. I still recall the Jersey flight the two of you made together and your surprise when he told you he had never visited the island before.

What an amazing place to be able to fly to and stay

@bigglestheflyboy 3 года назад

What an excellent Vlog Jon. Scotland has a number of very good venues for PPLs. If you're going to be doing the Great Glen, don't forget to go to Mull (Glenforsa) where you can stay in an hotel right next to the airstrip. And don't let's forget the beach landing at Barra followed by a flight over to Oban where, if you speak nicely to the Fire Station, they may let you rinse the salt off with their hoses!! I'm just getting my Arrow (G-TSGA) repainted right now, but when its finished, I'm tempted to celebrate the paint job by following your lead and flying up to Newhall Mains for a couple of nights.

Hopefully i will be back in the air mid september for the SEP land renewal now, up in Coventry. Cannot wait, little PA-28 140 with the roof trimmer.G-BAHF i think is the reg.

Probably your best video yet, what a place to flying into, a dream place, couple of things, firstly you must be peeved off as there are an awful lot of your plans that get scuppered.......... Secondly has anyone done a flight into Saumur [Air Club], great place to visit, lovely town, some nice shops to purchase the odd 'bottle of grapes' as it is the Loire Valley and the French Tank Museum is there, great 'bloke' museum.

Great video Brilliant Camerawork (and I am a retired Broadcast TV cameraman) Looked a fantastic place and most envious, You might also want to try HMS OWL not far from Ewans place...best B and B I have ever stayed at, in the old RAF fleet air arm base, Tain , in Fearns old Control Tower in a luxury bedroom....plus you have the private airfield in walking distance... That would be two outstanding places to stay both with airfield... wow! Thank 's for the great video

I think you're based at Blackbushe and I'm regularly there so happy to say hello if you're about. Just a quick question on this video. I noticed you changed your route from intially planning to fly up the west coast through my neck of the woods (Manchester/Liverpool) but didn't due wx. I'm just wondering why you didn't go IFR and excercise your IR(R) priveleges. Just curious......

Hi Joel. Drop me an email if you can and we can chat some more. Contact me through my website at jonhunt.net. I think the weather was below my minima, or very close to it, so we had to head east.
