Seaplane taking off from Ravenglass
Loading...
Uploaded by marloncole on Jun 12, 2009
I often visit Ravenglass in the English Lake District, but in May 2009 I found a seaplane being assembled off a trailor on the back of a car, which then took off from the beach at Ravenglass. I video'ed it, and put this clip together, as it reminded me a little of the assembly of the gyrocopter in You Only Live Twice. So I thought the soundtrack I added was appropriate and of course a little tongue-in-cheek. This is my first video posted to YouTube, so be gentle with me :)

@marloncole Thanks for info. Not been been able to get to Ravenglass this summer,hubby had accident on his bicycle,still got broken leg

And apart from all the comments, this guy built the plane himself after building a first class catermaran. He's cumbrian of course!!!!!

I remember this day i remember sitting on the wall outside haywood house and seeing this take off

he doesnt mind atall. He loved it. The plane has only just been built, that could be the reason :) Its a home build plane and my dad built it from plans. My dad had to go across to america to get a extension on his english pilots licence which would allow him to fly seaplanes so we haven't been flying it from Ravenglass that long. Im glad it made your day :D

Wish we could have been there. We are couple of old fogies, who love coming to Ravenglass on our motorbike. A beautiful part of the world

@Xwaterbabe It seems they're regular visitors to Ravenglass - and in fact they were there again when I was last there again this Summer: twitpic dot com/67zvwn

I've been coming up to Ravenglass to visit my father-in-law (Ken Sowerby) for the last 7 years and never seen it before - never seen the plane before - seeing it made my day it did :) There are seaplane conventions? Never knew that! Glad you liked the video - hope your dad doesn't mind.
