9. Blenheim Palace Woodstock
Blenheim & Woodstock was a railway station constructed in the neoclassical style which served the town of Woodstock and Blenheim Palace in the English county of Oxfordshire. The station, as well as the line, was constructed by the Duke of Marlborough and was privately run until 1897 when it became part of the Great Western Railway. The number of trains serving the station was cut in the late 1930s, and again in 1952 down to only six trains a day. The last train ran on 27 February 1954 adorned with a wreath. The station building was initially converted into a garage and petrol station. Then the forecourt of the site was no longer used as a petrol station, but for used car sales only with a building company using some of the land behind the station. There were proposals for demolishing the b...

Knap Hill - view from the top, near Alton Priors, Wiltshire, UK, June 2013

Looking around from the top of Knap Hill, near Alton Priors, Wiltshire, England, UK, 2013. Was very strong wind on top !!! pushing and rolling clouds with rain over the hills... :) There's the first crop circle of 2013 in UK on a yellow oil seed rape field north-east to Alton Priors, it's only too far to be recognizable from the top of Knap Hill. Here's a link to the website about crop circles with reports and photos of that crop circle:

I've been flying since I was 16 and at age 19 flew around the world by myself in the same 1981 A36 Beechcraft Bonanza I still fly, becoming the youngest person ever to solo circumnavigate by aircraft.

Now, I'm sharing all kinds of aviation adventures with YOU! Ride along as we explore the world from the air and get a close up look at some of aviation's best flight experiences and destinations. I'm aiming to share the most immersive aviation content you've ever seen (and always complete with cockpit/ATC audio) and showcase the utility of general aviation with some awesome GA travel vlogs as well.

Some Sunny September Saturday Steam

Saturday September 23rd was another of those days when it was possible to catch multiple steam specials to the west of London, even if it did mean starting at 6am.
First to be on its way was 60009 Union of South Africa with The Yorkshireman from Victoria to York. For this we used the tried and tested Barnes & Barnes Bridge combo.
A quick relocation to Mortlake followed because roughly 45 minutes behind came 35028 Clan Line on the Victoria to Exeter Atlantic Coast Express. Staying with Clan Line, we jumped ahead to two locations near Overton before doubling back to another two at, and near, Mortimer* for 46233 Duchess of Sutherland. The Duchess' train was a Faversham to Salisbury Cathedrals Express although the loco had only joined it at Hanwell, hence the caption.
Next came four shots of 46100 Royal Scot, standing in for the otherwise engaged Clan Line, on the Belmond Pullman around the Surrey Hills, two around the M25 near Chertsey, and two near the top of Gomshall Bank.
From Gomshall it was back out to Oakley for the return of 46233 as it passed the site of Oakley station. Here the video ends; the train was booked to stand at Basingstoke for 14 minutes, meaning that it should be possible to beat it to Bramley. Unfortunately, the stop was cut out and as we reached Bramley everyone was walking away from the station, and having been on the go for twelve hours we didn't feel like waiting another two for Clan Line, so we called it a day.
* The shot of 46233 passing the multiple unit is taken from a foot-crossing, a fact that is not obvious in the video.
