The aircraft is a Mainair Flash 2a flexwing, I was on my way to the Ashcroft Farm airsrip near Winsford and departed from Ince Blundell.

Make sure you click on HQ for a better picture, practicing controlled low flight, along the north coast of the Wirral peninsular which is near the city of Liverpool in the UK, the low flying was at the low water mark to be well away from the public, the flight was also well clear of the Hilbre restricted airspace, the aircraft is a Mainair F2a flexwing microlight powered by a 50hp Rotax 2 stroke, it was filmed one lovely summers evening in 2008, during the low flying part of the flight keep your eye on my shadow,
I think the song by Louie Armstrong "Wonderful world" sums up the feeling you get when flying a seat of the pants microlight aircraft, hope you enjoy it.

This flight was the last of a short course in mountain flying I did when on holiday in the southeast of France near the Alps, I enjoyed it very much and learned so much, many thanks Marcus, the departure airfield Barcelonette is 3500ft amsl and Tallard were we landed is also quite high at 2000ft amsl, Barcelonette is a busy ski resort and a very pretty town, the aircraft we flew in was a Pegasus Quantum powered by a Rotax 912, Tallard airfield itself is a very interesting airfield being the home of the French parachute club as far as I know with their fantastic long nosed Pilatus Porter aircraft, this video really does not do justice to the amazing scenery of the Alp's, the very large lake with the blue water is as far as I know the largest man made lake in Europe and powers a massive hydro electric generator, I know the picture quality is not the best but the cameras mounted on my helmet as you can see on one of the stills, its an Oregon ATC 2k,
