Nice flight at this South Devon site in October, 2007. Flight was about 3/4 hour edited to 6 mins for clip. Wind a bit off to the North so it was difficult to get all the way to Matthew Point, (the place with the house on the top near the beach at the far end from launch.) Lovely day for autumn. A few sea thermals taking me up to 400 feet above launch. The long beach is Slapton Sands (actually shingle!)and the village at the far end is Torcross, where the Americans and British practiced the D day landings during the second World War. Slapton is on the Western edge of Lyme Bay, where the same D Day landings exercise cost the lives of several hundred American troops when there unprotected convoy was attacked by U boats.
