A great experience, although sitting in the rear seat I found it annoying trying to take photographs through the various wing struts. A very professional and helpful team of staff and volunteers.

A fantastic, unique experience and we were lucky enough to have chosen a beautiful day. Great to have a ticket for Duxford included as we were able to make a day of it. Thanks to the pilot Craig and the friendly staff on the ground.

Brilliant experience, a really smooth flight right over LONDON in a beautiful aircraft.

Our flight was a very enjoyable experience. There were fascinating sights to see over central London and en route, and the experience of flying over them in a venerable aircraft was wonderfully exciting. We might have been able to take even better photos had we been lucky enough to sit in the two front row seats ahead of the wings. A useful guide to the sights of central London is provided. It would be even more interesting if it illustrated the highlights of the historic Lee Valley as well. If you want to know precisely where you are take an OS map of NE London because phones have to be on airplane mode so you cant access GPS. Really worth visiting the IWM aircraft museum after the flight. Great day out.
