Testimonials

My experience with this flight was incredible. I booked it as a surprise gift for my fiancé's 30th birthday, and it exceeded all our expectations. The instructor (Mr. Peter EJ Spencer) was absolutely amazing. He was patient, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly to both of us, especially while my fiancé was in the pilot's seat. His knowledge and passion for being a teacher was really shone through, and he delivered the information in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. The entire experience felt special from start to finish, and seeing how much my fiancé enjoyed it made it even more memorable. It was truly worth every penny. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique gift or an unforgettable day out. Thank you for making my fiancé's 30th birthday so special!

We bought this flight as a birthday gift for our grandchildren & their uncle. All three were very excited to go, and they all agreed it was excellent! Our grandson was very pleased to sit beside the pilot and wants to go up again! Thank you

We came as a family for the extended helicopter flight for my Mum’s 70th birthday and could not have been happier. We all absolutely loved it, all the staff and our pilot Neil were so friendly and approachable. The sights and views on board were incredible and we all enjoyed every minute. Mum was in the front seat next to the pilot and was over the moon with her experience. Our youngest signed up to do the new tractor driving experience whilst we were there and he absolutely loved it. His instructor made him feel at ease and relaxed and he thoroughly enjoyed himself. He was thrilled at being able to have a go at driving it alone and hasn’t stopped talking about his experience since! Thank you. We will be back!

An amazing trip and the staff were so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed it. I would love to see some English steam engines on the line at some point

--Joanne

One of the best experiences ever, never thought I'd fly in a helicopter above the British country side and London, and the prices are surprisingly cheap for what its worth.

--Emilian Gradinaru

We were well looked after throughout the return journey, and Keith gave us a great insight into the history and current state of the railway

--Gary Cobden

We had the most amazing helicopter flight over London following the Thames seeing all the sites. All the ground crew and pilot were fantastic, very friendly and efficient, it was a great experience, would highly recommend this.

--Lisa Hornsby

Today we were treated to a helicopter flight from Redhill aerodrome captained by Jules Fellows. From the check-in to the safety briefing we were impressed by the professionalism of the ground crew and the Captain who pointed out numerous landmarks as we flew over London. A real treat. Thanks to all involved.

--Dudley Thomas

Absolutely brilliant! The instructor was very clear and instructions were easy to follow. I didn't want the experience to end. Can highly recommend.

--John Oakley

Great afternoon with Tony and his wonderful birds of prey. I found it very interesting and informative, handling the birds was really great. I would recommend coming along if you have an interest in learning about birds of prey .

--Ryan Day

We were blessed with lovely weather and had v good visibility. Would have been nice to have had longer and gone lower!

--Mr. Andy Bacon

I thought it was a very well, professionally organised experience and enjoyed every minute of it. I had paid the supplement for a front seat and think that made it even more enjoyable. Notable “landmarks” for me were Tunstead Quarry (the largest continuous face in Europe), Wynatts Pass, Mam Tor, The Dams obviously, Chatsworth, Bakewell and The Monsal Trail. Well done to Neil and everybody involved for a great trip!

--Don McNab

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The demonsrater was very informative and encouraging. Gave us time with each bird. Only dissappointment he couldn't let them free fly because of the close vicinity of the main roads. Would recommend.

--Barbara Pell

My mum and I had a lovely time on the steam train from Chinnor to princes Risborough. The journey from parking, where to go, getting onto the train, finding our seats and off again was totally stress free. The journey there and back is not to long, not to short and the scenery was lovely. The staff were very polite, helpful and enthusiastic. Lots of pubs nearby for a drink and some food afterwards. Would highly recommend this experience!

--Stephanie

Had a wonderful afternoon on this steam train journey. Fabulous carriages, and staff very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Am sure we shall return, and on that occasion will have one of the tasty looking afternoon teas you can have during the trip. Recommend experience.

--Paul Dyason

I bought this experience as a birthday gift for my sister. We had the cream tea package. It was worth every penny. Such a wonderful feeling traveling on an old steam train, through the beautiful countryside. All the gentlemen who work there were very polite and welcoming. The historical information given by the staff was very interesting. And lastly the scones and (bottomless) tea were delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would happily do it again. Thank you.

--Donna Williams

It was an enjoyable experience lasting over 3 hours, we got to hold 6 different beautiful birds. There were just two things I wish we knew before we went 1 - Unfortunately they were not able to fly the birds at Bottisham Airfield due to issues with the location. At other locations that would have been possible, had we known that we would have booked a different location. 2 - Taking a folding chair is great idea. with 30 people doing the experience there is quite a lot of waiting around.

--Gary Cheary

What an amazing day where I was able to handle six birds of prey. Reilly, the instructor, was very informative about each of the birds, and was able to answer any question. He explained how to handle each bird, and how not to spook them. There was about 25 of us on this experience, and we all were able to handle all six birds. A good 3 1/2 hours well spent. The only issue was that the Bottisham Airfield is very difficult to find, a total lack of road signs, which of course isn’t your doing.
