I have had a passion for flying from a young age, so as soon as I had saved enough to embark on my training to be a pilot I started. With now over thirty years experience of flying light aircraft, your flight is guaranteed to be a pleasurable experience. I also have been a racing driver since 1974, and own an electrical contracting Company. I look forward to having you onboard.

Day trip to the Isles of Scilly, take off from Turweston

What a day. Such an excellent day trip made special with such a good pilot. As an aviation enthusiast I couldn’t have asked for more, I learnt so much sitting alongside Willie who took the time to explain all that was happening whist delivering such a smooth flight. Cant wait to do it again. .

Short hop to Sandown for lunch - 3 Seats

Absolutely amazing day that will live with my wife and I forever. We flew with Willie, a gentleman and excellent pilot, from Turweston to Sandown, Isle of Wight. Willie is very reassuring and informative, explaining all aspects of his aircraft both pre flight and during the whole trip. We flew at 4000 ft in beautiful weather with clear visibility, so good in fact that we could see The IOW from just South of Oxford. Willie's Uncle John met us at Sandown , another true Gent, and gave us a lift...

Sightseeing Flight Around the Local Area From Turweston

Wonderful birthday flight for No.3 GS who really did enjoy it save for some queasiness which was handled admirably by our pilot Willie. His handling of the plane at a very busy time at the airfield was exemplary. Thanks Willy from Billy, Mikey, Ali and our photographer Benny.
