Microlight on Video

[gasax]

Don't expect rationality here. Remember everything is illegal, irresponsible and causes outrage - you'll never prove otherwise!

From the head on shot it looks quite well displaced laterally

When "they" passed through our village, South Stoke, the airborne part of the duet was about 50 feet above the train, most certainly not offset. Appalling.

The hill the other video was taken from is clearly visible too.

I beg to disagree, The first video with the duet crossing Gatehampton Bridge was taken from the high ground to the East of the line. The second video from the "Leathern Bottle" bridge (between Goring and South Stoke) is looking South so the hills to the right of the shot are above Streatley on the Western side of the railway. The location that the first video was taken from, about two miles distant, is behind the trees on the left of the shot.

I hope my lycoming don't sound like that !(btw thread drift...) I used to own a Percival Prentice, it took up loads of room,was very thirsty,weighed a ton and was very slow....Any resemblance Percy?

Hatzflyer, yes I remember you, I always new that you never loved or cared for me & discarded me as soon as you had chance...tee hee !

Last posting for me on this subject, but I do hope that the idiot doing this stunt does not repeat it or does something else stupid & causes a mishap.

An absolutely appalling lack of airmanship, everyone knows that if you hop from one side of the train to the other you can get the passengers running from window to window and get the whole train rocking. That bridge looked like the perfect opportunity which this microlight pilot missed, disgraceful.
