Every now and again I get the opportunity to take a few photographs from the cockpit. Mostly if I’m solo the camera or phone is firmly tucked away, but with summer on it’s way I thought I’d share an image from last year whilst heading south to Clacton

Do you fly from Clacton? I gained my PPL there.

I do hope that you will stick around and share some great aerial photography.
Nice to welcome a fellow engineer.

A hearty welcome to the forum Chris! :+1:

It certainly looks exhilarating up there, beautiful on a sunny day no doubt.
It’s always good to have new members with different interests and passions.
As Foxy has already said, hopefully you’ll stick around! :slightly_smiling_face:

I originally learned at Beccles but often fly south past Ipswich, then over the estuary into Kent. If I have time, along the south coast, past Shoreham, then to Sandown for a cuppa :slight_smile:

I have a few I can share but usually fly solo and keep the phone in my “go bag”

Here’s a photo which is very much NOT Norfolk (in fact NZ), but using my rather expensive flight simulator which I use to practice procedures and just have fun

And now Beccles is just up the road to me. Often see a/c buzzing around that are from there.

I well remember the first time I got into a large aircraft. I managed to get a window seat and looked outside. The stewerdess came along so I said to her “We are so high up here those people look like ants”
She replied “They are ants we have not taken off yet”

LOL - never ignoring anyone. I’ll try to not make too much of a buzz next time I’m near Beccles

Biggles was a man

Maybe “Worrals” then. A character also by W E Johns, but female and I actually have an early edition of “Worrals on the warpath”
