Fly to Lee on Solent with short walk to the beach

I had the pleasure of experiencing a truly exceptional trip lead by Mr. Bruce, and I can't express my gratitude enough. Every moment of the journey was filled with joy and cheer, and it had an especially positive impact on Maji(My wife). This day has become a cherished memory that Maji and I will carry with us as we grow older together. Mr. Bruce's friendly and admirable character added a special touch to the trip, making it even more enjoyable. I am eagerly looking forward to staying connected...

What an excellent experience from beginning to end. Communication with Bruce on the run-up was excellent, and on the day we had a fab flight with plenty of chat and sight-seeing. Thoroughly enjoyed the discussions around the actual flying as well as views and the journey. Thank you, Bruce.

Sightseeing around southern England

It was a thoroughly enjoyable flight. My pilot, Bruce Dean, was all I could have hoped for. - Professional, experienced, informative, helpful and very good company! He's a credit to the Wingly brand. 10 out of 10 for the flight - and Bruce!
