Fly to Salcombe Bolt Head in Devon for the day
What an amazing day! We were welcomed by Bruce on arrival at Enstone Airfield where he explained the flight plan, checked whether we had any questions and ran through the safety details before our departure. It was a beautiful day for the flight to Bolt Head. Bruce was very friendly and informative. The outbound flight was approximately 1 1/2 hours and Bruce identified places of interest and explained some of the aspects of flying the aircraft. We arrived at Bolt Head having followed the coastl...

Fly to IWM Duxford for the day
A fantastic trip to Duxford with Bruce, which we enjoyed from start to finish. The flight itself was the real highlight with Bruce doing everything possible to to make everyone comfortable and also being more than happy to explain everything going on both inside and outside the aircraft. At Duxford, which Bruce is obviously very familiar with, he was more than happy to share his encyclopaedic knowledge of aviation (and a few good stories from his RAF days) to really bring the exhibits to life...

Fly to Salcombe Bolt Head in Devon for the day
Bruce is simply brilliant. We took a flight from Enstone to Salcombe today 20th May, from the moment we meet Bruce he put us at ease. Explained everything about the flight so we could all understand and then gave us a guided tour all the way to Salcombe and back. We had plenty of time to explore the town and have a bite to eat before we flew back in time for dinner. We have no negatives about the trip and would fly with Bruce again in a heat beat. Thank you Bruce for making our day so memorable....

We landed and had some bacon butties and then flew back over the Malvern hills too. it was totally awesome and Bruce did a really nice 360 turn with right wing well down maintaining a good 2,000 feet altitude over Malvern. Bloody brilliant !! I can totally recommend Bruce to anyone that wishes to...
