From Malbec to Saumur

The first leg of my flight to the UK in the Savannah was a hop on 10th August of 2 hours 35 minutes over a distance of 270 kms from Malbec in the Dordogne to Saumur St Florent in the Val de Loire. It was the only leg of the whole trip when I succeeded in getting my little sports cam video recorder to stay on for the whole flight from take off to touch down.

I’ve now had a chance to edit the recording down to a short video of 14 minutes and put it up on Youtube. The latter in itself was no mean feat as we’re having terrible problems here with loss of land line and internet due, we think, to the upgrade to ‘fast internet’ that should be completed by next year. Almost every time the connection was lost, the (very big) Youtube upload was disrupted and it had to be restarted twice.

The video can be seen by clicking on the Youtube link below.

I still have to solve an issue of vibration of the camcorder mount but I’ve managed to edit out most of the bad bits and only left in the odd short section where removing it would have ruined continuity eg during landing.
