Exeter --> Dunkeswell --> Exeter in an Ikarus C42

[Jerry_Atrick]

This popped up on my Youtube feed. Dunkeswell is my home and local airfield; Exeter is about 20m to the west. Exeter is an international airport (though not too big), and is home to TUI airlines UK ops (they are German, I think).

 

There is a Robin group out in Exeter, and a decent chunk of GA and LAA (RAAus equivalent) aircraft at Exeter. Dunkeswell is home to Somerset Microlights, where they have a few C42s. I though Warriors were slow until I was waiting for a C42 to get enough upwind to depart...

 

Anyway, enjoy some of the SW English countryside.

 

 

A little bit of history - Dunkeswell as one of two WWII aerodromes close by (Upottery, no closed, was the other). USAF B17s were based at Dunks in WWII.
