Bottle plane prepared for flight on Stenbury Down

Watch: Bottle plane glide over Stenbury Down during golden hour

‘Golden hour’ is one of our favourite times of the day.

In the lead up to the sun setting, the landscape is basked in golden hues and with the long afternoon shadows, it never fails to look enticing.

Ventnorian, Paul Knights has shared with News OnTheWight another great short film (see his previous work) of his homemade bottle plane (see original footage).

This time Paul decided to wrap the wing of the bottle plane in foil for some extra ‘bling’ and took it up to Stenbury Down with a friend to see it dazzle in the sky. He says,

“I think you’ll agree our local landscape once again looks absolutely gorgeous when you catch it right with the light.”

Having watched the short film (see below) we absolutely do agree, what a glorious sight. Thanks Paul for taking the time to shoot, edit and share the footage.
