I was privileged to get another flight in my son's microlight. This time we took to the skies around Preston in Lancs, England. Taking off from St Michael 's airfield ( which was under two metres of water in the January floods!) and following the road over Barton Village to the M6-M55 interchange, down to the Tickled Trout Junction on the M6 and then skirting South Preston and back to the airfield. ! hour before sunset so the haze was beginning to make aerial photography difficult so we kept the altitude to about 700 feet and cruising around 50mph.
Video captured in 1080p with the GoPro Hero4 silver edition.
A great flight and what a way to see the landscape of Lancashire.
