Brian Jackson
Checking in was easy and pleasant, the preflight briefing was reassuring. The flight was most enjoyable, communication with the pilot was excellent.The atmosphere at White Waltham has to be experiencedThank you all for a great experience.
Andy Todd
Had an awesome, never to be forgotten flight in the Harvard. The pilot was brilliant and asked if I wanted the option for him to demonstrate some aerobatics. I never thought I would be flying upside down in an 83 year old aeroplane. I would recommend this experience to any aviation enthusiasts.

It was a brilliant ecperience, I only wish it lasted longer as it was over all too soon.Unfortunately I havent any photos for you because my son was unable to attend to fulfil that duty.What really impressed me was how clean and shiny the interior of the Harvard was. I wish I could have taken shots of the interior for keep sake .Perhaps you might think of doing something for customers to take away as a memento.Your pilot on the day was most helpful in explaining cockpit layout and procedures as well as in flight aerobatics.I found it a most memorable enjoyable experience.Also sad not to see the two hurricanes on site but gathered they were at Duxford
