Absolutely phenomenal

We were bought this as a gift, and finally managed to find time to go. We had an amazing day. Set off early to make the most of the museum, and arrived at opening time to take in the first hangar, and the cafe for a sausage bap. Then on to look at more exhibits before our flight. When it was fine for the flight, we had full instructions provided, and were loaded in to the Rapide. It was cosy but not uncomfortable. The actual flight was smooth with lots to look at, having been given a map of the route and landmarks we could see. We were up for 90 minutes, although we were in a holding pattern circling for a while as the commercial airports were needing us to stay out of the way for their flights. This did not detract at all from the experience, and is more than acceptable in the interests of air safety. On our return to Duxford, the landing was the smoothest i have ever experienced, a framed photo of us posing with the plane was available at the desk on leaving. This photo was £10 which was reasonable considering a digital copy is also available. We had a fantastic day. Thank you

Amazing Experience

Wonderful views over countryside and London. Well briefed on safety issues. Flight was a bit bumpy so not for the faint hearted. A unique experience.
