I've been watching this guy practice more or less daily for the past few years. I think he flies over Twyford/Henley/Wokingham and possibly as far out as Reading?

Pretty awesome pilot

It could be Ed Cyster. He was on the Idris Elba No Limits show this week and he was doing everything from White Waltham. So it would make sense for him to be doing this over Twyford.

I see one regularly in Finchampstead in the sky to the north west. Presumably the same guy.

I was out walking near the canal /river in Aldermaston last weekend and saw this plane again then - agreed very impressive!

I've been wondering who it was for ages, I also see him towards Warfield and also when I shoot hockey over towards Sonning.

One (him possibly) flies over the Mapledurham area a lot. Slightly bonkers and great to watch but the noise does get on your tits after a while smile

The trick he does where he goes straight up, cuts the engine and tumbles down before re-starting turns my stomach everytime

No idea who he is, agree that he is an awesome pilot but is also a total pita if you live within 5 miles of White Waltham! I live in Binfield and almost every Sunday morning during the summer he is up and out early morning, while his antics are a sight to behold the continual noise of the plane climbing and diving become VERY wearing!

I have to admit there are times when I have been lying in bed wishing there would be a cough and a splutter and silence would return to an otherwise tranquil Sunday morning!!!!

Ive always known him as "The crazy farmer from Burghfield". Think he was in the Reading Post once.
He used to frequently get told off for flying over AWE, which is a no-fly zone.

He's ruined far too many summer Sunday afternoons in Calcot for my liking. Impressive skills, but after you've seen them 400 times, with the accompanying noise terrifying a 7 year old with Aspergers, the novelty soon wears off. The trampoline in our garden gets used more for hiding under with ears clutched, than bouncing.

I know what you mean, it is really annoying and we live in Spencers Wood.

I think you get a few of them from White Waltham.

I thought the Bremont Watches boys (Nick and Giles) were fond of their stunt planes and flew from WW.

Whenever I am on for a decent score at the local golf course I can guarantee a plane will appear over my head and kill my vibe. If it's not the stunt plane its a local PH'er landing his chopper! Both great sights.

The plane will have a number on its side, take a note of it and give White Whatham operations a ring, ask them to have a quick word with the Pilot when he/she gets back and politely ask if he could go over to Henley next week hehe

The pilots I know are very aware of the noise problems with the planes and "most" will try to keep away from built up areas as much as possible.

A lot of the in plane footage was filmed over the lakes to the south of Reading, beside the M4.
