I fly out of Turweston and also from Coventry Airport so have posted some flights that may be of interest, as I fly four seat aircraft we can tailor the flight according to numbers or budget. Should you have a flight or route in mind or just a question please contact me in Wingly by making a flight request and I'll get back to you. You aren’t making a booking at that stage and it's no problem answering any questions. Light aircraft flying is the way to see the countryside or land away and go wa...

    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...

    Fly to IOW landing at Bembridge or Sandown

    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!

    Fly to Shobdon for lunch and return

    Many thanks to our pilot, Bruce. We had a fabulous couple of hours flying with Bruce. There were no dramas, we made our way towards Shobdon, then diverted to Wellesbourne because of the weather. Had lunch there and then flew back to Coventry. Super flight, Bruce helped us to enjoy the experience by his professional attitude and calmness throughout. Thanks again, will definitely recommend.

    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...
