Hello from The Flying Reporter
A flight from Redhill to Le Touquet with my son was full of valuable learning points, including a terrible landing.
I gathered my favourite YouTube pilots, to bring you a special Christmas video.
After a lovely day walking around Alderney, I return across the English Channel to Redhill in Golf-Oscar Romeo.

Here’s what I’ve been up to lately
Jon Hunt is a BBC regional TV news reporter, and private pilot based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, UK. A video journalist, Jon films, scripts and edits much of his own material, as well as reporting live from location.
In May 2018 I joined three other aircraft on a five day tour of Europe, flying through France, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Germany and Belgium.
Would you know what to do, if you had to crash your aeroplane in the sea? The Flying Reporter joins other pilots on an extreme survival course to learn new safety skills.
In this mini series, I demonstrate some of the steps I follow, when preparing for a light general aviation flight in the UK.
