We run a YouTube channel for the exploits of Junior pilots in the UK.

Don't forget the one that really helped put glider videos on the map many years ago. Shot before inexpensive HD cameras were widely available, it nevertheless features a lot of innovative shots and some impressive flying.

I have also enjoyed these videos Sean.

ASW-20 in Greece. I really like the music and editing.
This is a shameless plug. Let's see if it makes a difference on the statistics. The editor / poster deserves it.

Didn't have to do anything, he filmed and arranged everything while I was too busy familiarising myself with the new ship.

Very interesting site. Fine for gliders, which don't need much smooth ground, but I wonder how the 6 (?) seat low wing single engine plane visible near the buildings gets on with those undulations and slope.
