The AMAZING Isles of Scilly & my Flight Back to Land’s End on the Skybus.

That's proper flying!! Love the Twin Otter - especially the overhead thrust levers - so distinctive and characteristic. Really envied you watching the flight deck activity. Great video (and brilliant weather)!!

Also the Airport at St Mary's has possibly the best Coffee Shop of any airport in the world :)

Used to Refuel Skybus as well as Other Airlines and the Captain in this Video is One of the Nicest Pilots You'll Ever meet.

Flew into the Isles of Scilly for our honeymoon in a DeHaviland Dragon Rapide biplane sixty years ago. We have been back several times since, by sea and under our own steam in Cessna 150, 172 and Piper Cherokee. The scenery is so spectacular. Unforgettable!

Now I can see why Harold Wilson (British Prime Minister in the 60s and 70s) loved it so much. He had a very modest bungalow there, which his wife retired to. It was sold only recently following her death. Both of them are buried on the Isles I believe? Really enjoyed that Mark. Nice way to end a trip.

😮 wow God bless lady pilots ✅ absolutely great place to visit Mark the Polly tunnels they have to grow u name it they can grow it beautiful flowers and vegetables you must go back my friend you have only touched the tip of the iceberg 👍 on this wonderful cheap visit peanuts Mark! Anyway my friend thanks for the 📹 pal all the best John 😊😊

Thanks Mark for an excellent video! It is the first video of yours I have ever watched. It will certainly not be the last!

I thought for a hot second we were going to get the trip summary in song 🤣. What a fantastic day out with stunning weather. Cheers!

Hi Mark.....Liverpool Kev here...Thank you for another wonderful video....I read a new ship due for the route?....I am going to repeat myself here (My only pleasure haha)....but you have such a relaxed presentation style....like travelling with a mate from the pub....yet excellent professional video ...Loved the flight...When I was working...I did a number of flights with VLM Prop aircraft from Liverpool to London City (20 mins check in at London City...What bliss!)...Thank you again Mark...Really cheered me up seeing you in the sunshine in the Scilly Isles...Take care as ever.....Liverpool Kev

Sounds like you might have caught the Scilly bug. We first went there about 40 years ago and have been back 10 times for holidays. If you go back try the launches to the off islands and try the beaches on St. Martins. Thanks for an excellent video.

Dogbox made me smile! It was the nickname in the East Midlands for the class 153s!

Great video. I was lucky a couple of years ago when my son worked on S Marys so was able to visit for a few days. Good as it was, you would have enjoyed flying on the smaller plane. Just a pilot and no bulkhead and if you’re lucky you sit right behind the pilot with uninterrupted views.

Great video and picked a perfect day for that flight. Not sure I'd want to be on that when it's bad weather or windy 😮 ✈️

Really glad you enjoyed your trip down here in the western tip of Cornwall. The Scillionian III holds a special place in my heart, and watching your video makes me realise I need another trip to the Scilly Isles it's just a magical place. I've never flown though but your video certainly makes me think I should give it a go.

Great stuff. It's a shame you could stay a fee nights, I used to live on Scilly and the best thing is often getting a boat trip over to one of the off islands. Also some great nights in The Atlantic!

Another great, informative and interesting video from you. You have so much enthusiasm in all you do for your viewers, and also your down to earth approach which is always appreciated. Your flight back was just amazing with some gorgeous scenery. Thank you Mark😊

I flew there and back in 2001, on the outward journey I sat to the right and just behind the seat of the vacant pilots seat with similar views to yours , the plane was a Britton Norman Islander, it didn’t look as big as your’s I think about 10 or 12 seats, on the return journey I was at the back, if I remember rightly is was quite cramped, in those days the Lands End St Just airfield was a grass strip a good 4 days break

Wow, you weren't wrong when you said the isles were stunning, I think this trip has now made my list. Great video, thank you

An excellent exploration of a "hidden gem" of an island - the unveiling of each part of the countryside vistas was highly enjoyable and expertly done - highly commended !

I was lucky to visit the isles of Scilly as a cruise port of call. What a gem. It should be on everyone's bucket list.
