Thanks very much. Trying to get out although we are overrun with holiday makers at the moment in Cornwall following the lifting of some COVID restrictions

Great Video! Got a little bit of everything. Wind-generators were great. Is that a Communication station out there also?

Thanks very much for the kind comments. The comms station you can see is Goonhilly. I filmed specifically at the earth station last year, a lot closer than this clip, but although it's not a NFZ, I received a polite request from the station to take the footage down, which I happily complied with.

From Wikipedia -

Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station is a large radiocommunication site located on Goonhilly Downs near Helston on the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall, England. Owned by Goonhilly Earth Station Ltd under a 999-year lease from BT Group plc, it was at one time the largest satellite earth station in the world, with more than 30 communication antennas and dishes in use. The site also links into undersea cable lines.

Its first dish, Antenna One (dubbed "Arthur"), was built in 1962 to link with Telstar. It was the first open parabolic design and is 25.9 metres (85 feet) in diameter and weighs 1,118 tonnes. After Pleumeur-Bodou Ground Station (Brittany) which received the first live transatlantic television broadcasts from the United States via the Telstar satellite at 0H47 GMT on 11 July 1962, Arthur received his first video in the middle of the same day. It is now a Grade II listed structure and is therefore protected.

The site has also played a key role in communications events such as the Muhammad Ali fights, the Olympic Games, the Apollo 11 Moon landing, and 1985's Live Aid concert.

Great Video beautiful landscape ruined by ugly Wind turbines. Surely there was a energy option that could have replaced these monstrosities. Nice flying.
